I am a big advocate of everything "independence" and the BEST way to get your little one to learn the basics of independence+growth+development, is thru effective TUMMY TIME, aka the first excercise for your baby!💪 You may (just like many Moms) may ask - -So what is tummy time? -Is tummy time really that important for babies? -Why tummy time? Well, simply put, tummy time is when your baby is awake and placed on their belly for a short period of time. It is super important for baby’s development, and some of its key benefits include: 🔸helps develop strong neck and shoulder muscles 🔸promotes gross motor skills 🔸can help prevent flat head syndrome 🔸helps baby build up strength needed for rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and eventually walking The best part about it, is the one-on-one time you spend with baby, watching them grow and develop right before your eyes! Coz believe it or not Mama, they'll be scooting and crawling before you even realize!👩‍👧 #saveIt and #shareIt this with another new Mama who might benefit from the information! 🗣️Did you do TUMMY TIME for your baby Mama? #tummyTime #babymilestones
