Supervised tummy time while awake guidance for infants.
What tummy time is really for
Tummy time builds neck and shoulder strength that supports later rolling and sitting. It is practice, not a test.
Pair it with a calm wake window so the baby is alert but not overtired.
When to ask a clinician
If you have concerns about head shape, asymmetry, or delayed motor skills, talk to your paediatrician. Guides are educational, not diagnostic.
