Tummy Time and Moving

Parent places child on the floor and observes early floor mobility milestones — rolling, prone lifting, sitting balance, and crawling. Covers six foundational motor milestones at 12-17mo. Three phases: back-to-tummy roll, prone prop-up, and sitting while playing.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Firm, flat floor (not a soft mattress). Child in light clothing. Place a small interesting toy just out of reach to motivate movement. Stay close for safety.

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
