For a while tummy time in our house lasted about forty seconds before it turned into a full negotiation. What actually changed it was not trying harder, it was putting something worth looking at at eye level. These are the five things that got us from forty seconds to a genuinely happy ten minutes.
Fisher-Price Glow and Grow Kick and Play Piano Gym
The piano end works whether she is on her back kicking it or on her belly whacking it, which doubled how long the whole thing held her attention. The arch toys unclip, so they come to the car seat too.
teytoy Tummy Time Pillow with Crinkle Mat and Teethers
The bolster under her chest was the actual fix. It takes just enough weight off her arms that she can look around instead of face-planting, and the little mirror on the front is the part she loves.
beiens High Contrast Baby Flashcards
Black and white, propped open in front of her. Newborn eyes cannot do pastel yet, which nobody tells you when you are buying soft mint everything. These she will stare at.
Infinno Inflatable Tummy Time Water Mat
Cheap, wipes clean, and the floating bits move when she pushes on it so there is a payoff for the effort. This is the one I bring to other people’s houses because it deflates flat.
Taf Toys Tummy Time Support Toy
A softer, smaller version of the same idea with toys she can actually reach. Good for the early weeks when a full play gym is too much and you just need five decent minutes.
