As babies lift their head higher, they begin to support themselves on their forearms. Developing good head and neck control in Tummy Time, three-month-old babies are more visually aware of their surroundings. Lie down on the floor so your baby can see you: - Baby on Her Back: Notice if your baby brings her head to midline. Does she bring both hands to her chest, grasp her hands together and look down at her hands? - Baby on Tummy: Notice if your baby can lift and rotate her head side to side. Three-month-old babies are beginning to bring their head to midline in this position. Is your baby bringing both arms forward to support herself on her forearms? Some babies may only need a few minutes in Tummy Time but maybe twice a day to become comfortable in this position. Enjoy your Tummy Time explorations together. Let us know if this is helpful and how you are doing. Hello Damian
