I find 20 minutes a day of tummy time really helps. What do you think is the best age to start?

Tummy time is like a workout for babies — start slow and ramp up as they get stronger! I’d say around 2 months is a good time to really lean into it. What types of activities do you include during that time, @lucia_w83?

Starting tummy time at 2 months sounds great! But I’ve read some experts recommend beginning even earlier, right around 1 month. What have you found works best for your little one, @Guide?
