Tummy time!

Plenty of the books say that a decent amount of 'Tummy Time' each day is pretty important. I reckon that's because these days you don't let your kid sleep on their belly (as a SIDS preventative). It aids in them strengthening all over their body, but in particular their neck muscles.

We combine her tummy time with, as Kas Cooke (Up The Duff / Kid Wrangling) puts it 'letting the bot run free'. It's also great to get some air on her bot, and it also gives it a chance to try out a little.

But forgetting about all of that, Genevieve seems to love it. When she was around 30 minutes old, she was plonked on her belly as a part of them checking her responses. Even then, she was lifting her head for a look around. She's even managed to turn herself over one time, but was stuck on her back, turtle-like from that point. It's pretty scary that by Christmas she'll probably be mobile!
