Here is a great article about tummy time and the importance of it in your baby's daily routine. As a physical therapist, I always educate the parents of my patients to increase their amount of tummy time daily to improve overall strength. Children who do not have as much tummy time may develop slower and demonstrate weaknesses in their shoulder girdle and neck musculature. Please read this article for more information.
If your child is experiencing slow development or has head asymmetries, you should consult your doctor about a referral to a physical therapist. Early treatment can improve your child's prognosis and decrease the amount of treatment time drastically.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your child's gross motor development. Leslie Holmes
