“Tummy time has a multitude of benefits which support babies from birth all the way into their adult lives. ”
— Carly Budd OT

Tummy time is important for helping our little ones meet their full potential confident to explore the wonderful world around them.

These benefits include:

* Supporting the correct formation of the spine, from the C curve of a newborn to the S curve.

* Preventing flat spots on the skull.

* Dissociation of the hips allowing rotatation at the trunk.

* Opening up the upper ribcage, supporting Optimal breathing

* Muscle strength for motor coordination - needed for later milestones such as rolling, crawling, standing & walking

* Postural Stability/Control

* Eye-hand coordination and ocular motor control

* Sensory processing including vestibular (balance & orientation) and proprioceptive (movement grading) 

* School readiness - core stability developed in tummy time is the foundation of being able to sit at a desk to learn.

* Visual Perceptual skills

* Midline crossing and bilateral integration - creating neurological pathways in the brain which aid future learning and allow us to coordinate both sides of our bodies. 

* Attachments and bonding - through loving playful interactions in tummy time.

* Playfulness and curiosity of the world 

And SO much more!!!!
