Tummy Time

Sarah has a qualification in teaching Tummy Time sessions. She is delighted to come to the relaxed comfort of your home for two 30 minute sessions  teaching you the techniques and benefits of tummy time. The timing of these visits will depend on the baby's age but maybe as much as a month or 6 weeks apart. All babies, from birth, need to have periods of time every day laying on their tummy. Initially this is just laying on your chest and "head bobbing" but as the baby grows this needs to be a more structured activity. This needs to be performed in as safe manner in line with Sudden Infant Death prevention  guidelines. The benefits of Tummy Time are that the baby will learn to lift their head and perform "press ups", strengthening their abdominal and back muscles and leading to the ability to roll, sit up and crawl. Additionally it helps to prevent "flat head syndrome" and aids vision. The sessions involve the use of stimulation from sound, lights and sensory toys. The session can be combined with Baby massage sessions. See the section on Baby massage for further details.
