Tummy Time!™ Method
TummyTime! Method is a systematic approach to tummy time that allows caregivers and infants to communicate with each other while developing motor skills. TTM is recommended for newborns, infants and families from birth through crawling. Motor development supports achieving the breastfeeding/chestfeeding and infant feeding goals of the family. TTM consult and classes give parents and caregivers the skills they need to achieve motor development goals and make tummy time fun for the whole family.
"Is it okay for a newborn to do TummyTime?" YES! The gold standard is tummy time on a parent's chest (preferably skin to skin) for the first 2-3 weeks of extrauterine life. After this, a blanket on the floor with a loving caregiver is a safe place for tummy time.
