Join us for our next Lift Off - Tummy Time Workshop
Wednesday 22 November

Your baby’s brain grows and develops in the most wonderful ways, thanks to the stimulating playtime you do with them. During the first three years of life the connections being made will help move them through to the next stages of development.
Tummy time is known to be really important:
- For achieving developmental milestones
- To supporting good muscle tone development
- To support energy expenditure during wake times to encourage better sleep
- As part of basic prevention of flat heads (plagiocephaly)
- As part of recommendations for current plagiocephaly
In this class you will learn why!
Tummy time is one of the most essential and foundation activities in infancy but it’s often talked about as a vague goal without specifics, so how do know if you are doing enough?
In this workshop you will learn how much time your baby should be on their tummy, as well as:
- What to do if your baby hates it
- How to make it fun, functional and varied
