Can your baby turn their head as they play?

What you need 

  • Shiny or textured household objects  
  • A mat for your baby to do tummy time on 

What to do 

  1. Gently place your baby onto their tummy on the mat. 
  2. Put different textured objects on the mat in front of them.  
  3. Notice how they watch the objects and move their body in excitement. 

Good to know 

Putting toys where your baby can see them might encourage them to lie on their tummy for a little longer. 

If they’re still not enjoying tummy time, place your baby on your chest and hold objects near to your face. Being close to you could be the comfort they need.
