But what is DoerKids® Tummy Time?
DoerKids® Tummy Time is one of the few toys that encourages the exercise of baby’s tummy muscles by promoting tummy time. As mentioned above, babies need diverse activities to strengthen each of their muscles while they are awake. DoerKids® Tummy Time encourages the prone position as baby uses their hands for support, helping to flex and strengthen the muscles. Many babies cry a lot because they don’t like lying on their belly at first. Parents can’t stand to hear their crying, so they avoid tummy time altogether. Babies need a fun toy that holds their attention, if they are to have more tummy time, stay entertained and strengthen their muscles. Before we introduce you to our unique product, which is perfect for introducing your baby to tummy time, let’s look at the benefits of this activity.
Benefits of tummy time:
- Strengthens baby’s arms, back, neck, shoulders, stomach and leg muscles, and quickly enhances their motor skills. Children who don’t spend any time in the prone position develop motor skills at a much slower pace.
- Motor skills such as grasping, holding up their head, crawling, turning around, walking and sitting, develop much quicker for children who are regularly in the prone position.
- Improves child’s vision and gives babies a different view of the world. Babies also learn to maintain their balance.
- Reduces the risk of skull deformations caused by babies lying on their back.
- In the prone position, babies can secure their body and control their head.
