Mommy How-to: Playing With Your Infant

Yes, it’s true, you CAN play with your newborn! Playing with your newborn can be intimidating with a soft head, little motor skills, and floppy legs. However, we have 5 ways to play with your baby!

  • Exercise Ball Tummy Time: Carefully supporting your baby on his stomach and gently rolling back and forth is an alternative to tummy time!

  • Flying Baby: Putting your baby on his stomach on your legs is another alternative to tummy time! Just a heads up, don’t do this after eating (you or your baby)!
