#1 baby positioning tip!!!!!!

Mother's often ask me what is the most important thing they should make sure to do with their baby to encourage their motor development.  You would think that I would hesitate to answer this question after all there are so many important things to do for your baby's motor development, how could I choose just one. Believe it or not this question leaves me no hesitation at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOMMY the most important thing you can do for your baby's motor development is to make sure that he/she is getting PLENTY of tummy time.  Tummy time is not just a suggestion it is of significant importance.  Your baby doesn't like tummy time?????? With enough help and encouragement from you she/he will get used to it. Your babies strength and movement skill will be enhanced by this tummy down position.  This is a crucial step in your child's motor development he/she cannot afford to miss.  Get down on the floor with your baby, use a c shaped pillow, bright toys, or mirror, or whatever else it takes to get your baby used to and happy playing in this position.  Put baby on a tummy time schedule multiple times a day for short periods if necessary until he/she gets used to tummy time.  It's never to early to start tummy time but it can be to late soooooo start today.
