This sweet activity is great for bonding plus gross muscle development; it’s a nice variation on standard tummy time.
Today, do your baby’s tummy time on… your tummy!
I lay down flat on my back, and placed Veronika on my chest. At first, she was quite content to lie there with her cheek against my shirt.
I lifted my head slightly, and called her name. You could instantly see her eyes light up, alert to the communication. Continue to say your child’s name, and help lift the head slightly if needed. Here she is trying to lift her neck.
Good work, Veronika!
