Mirror Tummy Time

Mirror tummy time! To strengthen their necks and upper body and build coordination, babies need tummy time daily. Newborns don’t always love it though, so you can use a mirror on the floor to keep them interested! This tip is especially great for infants who can’t quite lift their heads up to look in front of them yet!

Just get any mirror, I used a cheap one from Target that wasn’t too heavy or sharp (make sure you are cautious once they are really mobile) and place it on the floor. You can place them on their belly directly over it, or roll up a blanket and place it under their chest. As they grow, you will find so many uses for a mirror like this, babies love to watch you and themselves!
