Feeling Frustrated With Tummy Time?
When you hear the words “tummy time,” does it fill you with worry or frustration? You’re not alone. So many new mums struggle with this early stage — wondering if they’re doing it right, worrying when their baby resists, or feeling unsure how to make it easier for both of them.
In this episode, I’m sharing how you can rethink tummy time completely, moving away from stress and tears, and towards connection, joy, and real developmental growth. You’ll discover the true tummy time benefits that go far beyond simply strengthening your baby’s neck muscles — benefits that lay crucial foundations for their confidence, movement, and brain development.
Real Stories: How Connection Changes Everything
Through a heartwarming real-life story from my childcare experience, you’ll see how a small shift in rhythm, presence, and musical connection helped one four-month-old baby move from tummy time struggles to delightful curiosity. And the best part? These changes are simple and gentle — no complicated routines, no rigid schedules, just tuning into your baby’s natural cues and making small adjustments that have a big impact.
Unlocking the True Tummy Time Benefits
We’ll explore how tummy time benefits your baby’s body and brain, helping them build essential skills like balance, coordination, and spatial awareness. You’ll also hear why tiny movements during tummy time — little wriggles, head lifts, and weight shifts — are powerful milestones that pave the way for crawling, exploring, and beyond.
If you’ve recently given birth and are beginning your parenting journey, this episode will help you feel more relaxed and confident about supporting your baby’s growth. Whether you’re facing daily tummy time battles or just curious about doing it in a more connected way, this episode is packed with fresh insights and practical encouragement to help you turn those early floor moments into joyful stepping stones.
