Tummy Time Stretch
Parent positions baby on their chest for supported tummy time, gently stroking cheeks and arms to encourage stretching movements and early reflex responses. The agent coaches the parent to observe head turning toward touch, rooting reflex activation, and initial arm stretching — building neck strength, coordination, and sensory-motor integration.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent reclined comfortably (on bed, couch, or floor with back support). Baby positioned on parent's chest/stomach, facing parent. Room should be warm and calm. No materials needed, though a small cloth or towel can be used optionally.
