tummy time

0 comments | Friday, April 03, 2009


I have managed to do a turn on my tummy recently. It was quick and unexpected. I was shocked initially when I finally did it but after a few tummy turns, it feels kinda fun. You get to see the world in a different perspective and this excites me very much. The tiring part was when I have one of my hands tucked beneath me and I had to squirm myself a few times to get it out. I really must learn to push myself up faster. The big people say that tummy turn can strengthen my arm muscles. Wow, I really wish I have some muscles so that I can crawl in no time.

Tummy time promotes the development of strong head and neck muscles by allowing the baby to hold up the head against gravity. During tummy time, babies bear weight on their arms and hands, learn to reach with the eyes and the hands together, and eventually move through space to explore.

As babies gains strength in the third month, tummy time becomes more fun. Their first random movements enhance posture and coordination, eye tracking, arm rotation and hand strength. The result is a firm foundation for crawling, creeping, manipulating toys and later drawing with a pencil. Four and five month old babies are more purposeful, scooting and pivoting to reach toys. If you place a rolled up towel under a baby‘s chest and armpits, allowing him to be slightly inclined, he will smile and then reach out for stimulating objects.
