Tummy Time!

what your baby needs is tummy time! Basically, you just lay a blanket onto the floor and put your baby on his/her stomach on the blanky. It'll help your little one gain more head and neck control. I did it about twice a day with my daughter. You'll know when (s)he is tired of holding her head up, your baby will give you some kind of sign. (s)he may or may not even lift his/her head up the first couple of times you try it, but don't worry - keep trying it. Jayden just laid there the first couple times I did it, with her face straight down onto the blanket... I was worried she couldn't breathe so I would go to flip her over - but her doctor always told me to not move her until she starts getting fussy, just listen to him/her and make sure (s)he's breathing okay. This is the perfect time to try this... **around** 4 months of age, babies gain control and balance in their head, neck, and trunk; most babies can balance their heads for short periods when in a stable position. I hope I helped, good luck!!
Love, love~
