Classic floor tummy time
Medically-informed · Sources: CDC · Updated June 2026
Why it helps
The main strength program: neck, shoulders, core.
How to do it
- Firm blanket on the floor, baby tummy-down
- Get down to eye level — your face is the motivation
- Short and frequent beats long and tearful: build toward 3–5 minutes
Stop before frustration boils over; a few grumbles are fine, distress is not.
