Remember – tummy time must always be done when your baby is awake. If done over equipment, please make sure to supervise. If using an exercise ball, make sure it can’t roll away from you. You can make a pool noodle ring to stabilise an exercise ball and keep it from rolling away.

For more info on tummy time, please see our original blog or Raising Children.

Keep safe, happy, and well,
