My three boys doing tummy time together 👦👶🐶!! He’s only 5 days old but pediatrician said to start!!sounded early to me?

Question

Answer

I’m a pediatric PT and tummy time is fine whenever! But like others said it may not be super comfy on the umbilical cord before it falls off. Time on their tummy (supervised of course) will help them build that neck strength sooner and avoid skull flattening (called plagiocephaly).

Answer

Ours told us to start when the umbilical cord falls off

Answer

You can do it on your chest 😊
