Tummy Time

It's been 14yrs since I had my last baby so there's a lot that I've forgotten and that's changed in that time.

My bub is 7 weeks old and I was wondering if tummy time was still a thing and if so when am I meant to start it.

I feel like I'm a first time mum all over again even though I've got 3 teenagers so I'm wondering what else I should be doing with bub and when I should be doing certain things

As soon as they're born is when it's recommended to begin. Just a few seconds here and there and build up from there. Even if it's just on your chest after a BF or cuddles or skin to skin time. After you've changed their nappy, roll them over for a little. After a bath, give them a massage and let them have a lay down.

I thought I wasn't doing enough (I'm a FTM) but my little guy had good head control from the get go it seemed so really excelled with tummy time. Absolutely hated it though lol

Start straight away. I loved the Tummy Time fawn by Vtech. It’s really helped my little one.
