Tummy time can help to support our neck and shoulder muscles, it helps to improve motor skills with the development in the upper body linking to core stability and head control.

Whilst laying on their tummy can your child lift their head to look around

Placing your hands, one on the hip and one on the shoulder encourage your child to roll towards you and hold the position for 3/5 seconds then encourage to roll back onto their back.
