Tummy time exercises for your baby: How to do it and when

http://www.sunnybrook.ca // Tummy time exercises for your baby - instructions from Sunnybrook's Women & Babies Program staff.

When you take your baby home from the hospital, you will have been given instructions to put your baby to sleep on his or her back. But because of this, we need to give the baby opportunities to develop shoulder and abdominal muscles, and to prevent flattening of the back or side of the baby's head.

Every time you change your baby's diaper, turn your baby gently over onto his or her tummy. Gently put pressure on his or her bum, and bring his or her elbows in front of the shoulders. This will encourage your baby to lift his or her head. Do this for one or two minutes to ensure good strength of your baby's shoulder and abdominal muscles.
