Aug 09, 2022
You want your baby to be successful with their milestones in a way that your baby experiences Milestone Momentum.
Whether your baby is a newborn, 3 months old, 6 months old or older, tummy time is a crucial part of their development in gravity for their milestone momentum.
Michelle Turner, Baby Accelerator, in this blog she teaches 14 things that you need to know about the ins and outs of your baby's tummy time and what that means for your child's milestone momentum.
To a baby, there are no bad movements, but to a baby's development, there is such a thing as bad tummy time.
There is much more to it than putting your baby on their tummy.
- If the baby hates it, it's not tummy time!
- If the baby can't get the nose to cross midline, it's not tummy time!
- If the baby can't lift their head, it's not tummy time!
- If the baby can't get out of tummy time with out falling over by rolling over at 2.5 to 3 months...
Why a Baby Hates Tummy Time - What to Do About It
Jul 01, 2022
Difficulty in tummy time is an early warning sign for movement deviations.
A baby can hate tummy time because of...
- Reflux,
- A Heavy Head
- Lacks Rotational Movements in the Spine and/or Pelvis
- or a Stiff Ribcage
A baby should enjoy tummy time and have a nice sweeping of the nose back and forth as the baby is playing with movements that create functional rolling over, crawling, and walking.
If a baby's tummy time is unsuccessful for any reason it's likely the child will have difficulty in later milestones; either they will be awkward, delayed, or not happen at all.
Milestones should never be skipped, and if a baby is unable to perform those movements due to medical complications, birth trauma, or lack of movement in the body, Movement Lesson will help you put the Milestone Momentum back in your baby.
