Tip #12: Improve your chance of tummy time success

If your little one is like my little one then you are also struggling with tummy time. You can improve their enjoyment (or at least minimize their frustration) by bolstering them up. If you aren't using a boppy or towel then start, and if you already are then add more material to make their tummy time surface higher and firmer. As our little guy has gotten stronger, the amount of bolstering material we've needed has gone from boppy+folded blanket down to just a boppy and now finally on the floor.

Also, if you aren't already, find a favorite toy to put in front of them to distract them, that could be you, a cat, a black and white card, a mirror, etc.
