As a parent, you want to make sure your little one is happy and healthy. Tummy time is an important activity for your baby's development, but it can sometimes be a challenge to keep them engaged. Here are some tips to make tummy time fun for your little one!
1. Use Colorful Toys
Bring out some bright and bold toys to grab your baby's attention during tummy time. Toys with different textures and sounds can also add an extra element of fun. We love our taggie toys for tummy time!
2. Sing and Talk to Your Baby
Your voice is one of the most comforting sounds to your baby. Singing or talking to them during tummy time can help keep them engaged and make the activity more enjoyable.
3. Get Down on Their Level
Get down on the floor with your baby during tummy time. Making eye contact and engaging with them at their level can make the experience more interactive and fun for both of you.
4. Use a Baby Mirror
Place a baby-safe mirror in front of your little one during tummy time. Babies love looking at faces, and a mirror can provide entertainment and stimulation during the activity.
5. Try Different Surfaces
Switch up the surface for tummy time to keep things interesting. You can try a play mat, a soft blanket, or even a textured surface like a yoga mat to add variety to the activity.
6. Incorporate Movement
Gently move your baby's arms and legs during tummy time to help them develop their muscles. You can also try gently rocking them back and forth to add a fun and soothing element to the activity.
7. Make it a Routine
Consistency is key when it comes to tummy time. Try to incorporate it into your daily routine, so your baby gets used to the activity and starts to enjoy it more over time.
Remember, every baby is different, so it's important to find what works best for your little one. With these tips, you can make tummy time a fun and engaging experience for your baby, helping them reach important developmental milestones along the way.
