Your baby is on their belly on a blanket, and about ninety seconds in, the fussing starts. Sound familiar? Tummy time is hard work for little muscles, which is exactly why it matters.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends at least 30 minutes of tummy time a day to help build the strength babies need to roll, sit, and crawl, and to prevent flat spots on the back of the head.
Here is a trick for summer: take it outside. Lay a blanket in the shade and let those little hands discover grass, a cool spoon, a soft toy. New textures keep them curious enough to forget they are working.
