Supervised tummy time for your baby

"Encouraging tummy time from an early age can aid in the development of your baby's coordination and balance. Moreover, it allows them to explore their surroundings from a different perspective, fostering cognitive development. Even if your baby struggles with reflux, don't shy away from tummy time!
