Hi 👋🏼 my name is Holly and I was a pediatric OT before becoming a stay at home mom to 2 littles! Here sharing developmental tips and milestones, toy and play recommendations, my faith, and my daily life ✨ 👶🏻 Tummy time doesn’t have to mean flat on the floor! Using a small wedge, couch cushion, Boppy, or even a rolled-up towel under baby’s chest can make it more comfortable and help them tolerate it longer. That little incline gives them a boost so that lifting their head isn’t quite as hard,

Tummy time TAKES TIME! Newborns and young infants progress in strength, tolerance, and head control over the course of weeks to months. Parents are often worried their babies are behind early on when it seems like they can barely lift their heads on the floor, but this is so common! Clinically, we expect to see: 🐥 Birth–2 weeks: Brief lifts of the head (1–2 seconds) in prone, mostly resting on the chest with hips tucked. 🐥 2–8 weeks: Increasing tolerance with improved cervical activation. smal
