Tummy Time Abstract

Tummy Time Apps were developed to encourage and entertain your baby during tummy time. Tummy Time apps combine attractive noises, silence, and high-contrast black and white images to get and keep baby's attention during tummy time.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends starting tummy time for your baby as soon as she comes home from the hospital. Play and interact with your baby while she is awake and on her tummy 2 to 3 times a day for 3-5 minutes, increasing the amount of tummy time as your baby grows. This helps prevent the back of baby's head from flattening out and also strengthens neck muscles.

The Tummy Time app is not intended as a substitute for adult supervision. It is simply meant to enhance your interaction with your baby during tummy time. Always supervise your baby during tummy time. Always place your baby on his back to sleep
