Tummy time is one of the most important foundations for your baby’s development, but many parents feel unsure about how to do it correctly or what to try when their baby resists.

This digital handout was created by a pediatric occupational therapist to make tummy time simple, realistic, and supportive for real families. It explains why tummy time is essential, how often to do it in the early weeks, and how to prioritize quality over quantity without pushing through tears. It also addresses common concerns such as reflux and explains why tummy time can actually help reduce spit-up by strengthening core and digestive muscles.

The guide includes multiple tummy time positions with photos and clear explanations, such as towel cocoon positioning, rolled towel support, chest-to-chest, over knees, over crossed legs, and sidelying. Sensory system benefits are explained in parent-friendly language, helping caregivers understand how tummy time supports motor development, body awareness, and future skills.

This resource is ideal for new parents, caregivers, Early Intervention families, and therapists looking for a clear handout to support parent coaching and carryover at home.
