Video: Why tummy time is important

Written by Contributor

A few minutes of tummy time each day will help your baby develop and tone the muscles she needs to crawl, pull herself up against things and walk.

According to Occupational Therapist and Pampers Institute Member, Kate Bailey, a baby that is on the go, is on the grow.

She suggests a few minutes of tummy time each day to help your baby develop a strong neck, strong back and strong tummy muscles – which will soon help her to crawl and walk.

Kate also advises moms to use homemade play dough for little hands to help develop fine motor skills.
