Babies need sufficient tummy time to ensure timely development in rolling over, sitting up, standing, walking and even brain development. Parents are told it's necessary but soon find that babies used to sleeping on their backs and spending time in car seats, strollers and carriers aren't comfortable with tummy time. It's hard to see your baby frustrated so parents often give up too easily. By three months your baby should be able to tolerate around an hour of tummy time a day (spread out in small segments).

Here's a great link to show where babies should be developmentally from day one to 12 months:

Doctors have noticed more and more delays over the years in many of these developmental milestones so the founders of Baby Signs created a tummy time class to help. See details below about how this four-class series can help keep your baby on their tummy longer with simple, easy-to-do activities at home.

Note: This Thursday will be only the second class at Special Addition because we changed the dates a little so come on in (register
