When your baby is awake, place your baby on his/her tummy for short periods of time, giving them an opportunity to look around and explore. This is commonly referred to as ''tummy time''.

Note: Always supervise your infant during "tummy time" and be ready to help if he or she gets tired or frustrated in this position. Never put a baby to sleep on his or her stomach. Infants should sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
