We can also call tummy time "tummy time". With this activity, babies are placed face down on their stomachs. In this way, the baby exercises his muscles by trying to move or crawl. Babies start walking around the age of 1. During this process, he learns some movement skills. Laying the baby on his stomach and developing his muscles is of great benefit in gaining movement skills such as turning while lying down, sitting with support, sitting without support, crawling and standing up. Babies who spend plenty of time on their tummy acquire these skills more easily. It helps the muscles in the shoulders, legs, abdomen, back and neck to work. Supports trunk stability and head control. It develops motor skills such as crawling, turning and holding on. It accelerates the crawling process, which is the path to walking. Since the baby does not lie on his back all the time, the risk of the back of the head becoming flat is reduced. Positions that can be applied for tummy time are as follows: Tummy to tummy: The baby is laid on the mother's stomach and supported from the sides. Eye level: While the baby lies on his stomach on the floor, the mother lies opposite him in the same way. Lap: The baby is laid on the mother's knees, as in the burping position. Stomach carrying: One arm of the mother is passed over the baby's leg - the mother supports the baby's shoulder and head with her other arm. Supported method: The baby lying on his stomach is supported by rolling up a towel and placing it under his arms. Although special movements for babies improve their physical health, it is necessary to catch the right time. However, this is not the case for abdominal activity.
