Does this sound familiar?
Every time you put your baby down on their tummy, they scream.
You’ve been told how important tummy time is but you can’t figure out how you’re meant to get your baby to stay in this position when they are so damn unhappy there!
So you’ve been avoiding this position all together and put it in the ‘too hard’ basket.
To make matters worse….
Your baby has started to develop a flat spot on their head and the child health nurse has said they need to spend more time on their tummy.
You see other babies at playdates happily lying in tummy time and wonder why your baby is so upset on their tum.
You’re starting to feel really stressed out about this whole tummy time thing - why is it so hard?

More on The Baby Membership
Hi! I’m Alison Mason,
a Physiotherapist who has worked with
babies and children for over 15 years.
Tummy time is something that always gets a bad rap. I’m often told ‘My baby hates tummy time’ and have helped out hundreds of babies both in clinic and friends’ babies to conquer tummy time.
When I brought my second baby home from the hospital, my then 2 year old daughter straight away asked if we could put her baby sister in tummy time as she had heard me help out friends and their babies so often before with tummy time!
Introducing tummy time play early and most importantly GENTLY means your baby will enjoy it.
In my 15 years of treating babies stuck with motor skills I have never seen a baby who loved tummy time but then go on to get stuck with mobility skills like creeping and crawling unless there was another cause. It's one of those things where a few minutes early can make a big difference later.
Tummy time has been so well substantiated in the literature as a play position that supports baby's development that even the World Health Organisation have guidelines on it! They recommend that for babies not yet mobile, they need at least 30 minutes in prone position (tummy time) spread throughout the day while awake”
“But how on earth can I get my baby to do 30 minutes of tummy time when they hate it so much Ali?”
I hear you….as a mum of a baby with bad reflux I know how hard it can be. But my reflux baby went on to love tummy time and was great at it! That is because I introduced it gently, using a range of tummy time positions to suit her needs throughout the day.
I’ve included all my tips and strategies (and SO many photos) into this e-book so that all parents can know how to help their bub in tummy time….an no longer fear it!

"M is loving her Tummy Time now! She's able to spend long periods on her tummy without any props under her chest and arms 🙌🏼
In the last week, she's gone from parachuting to pushing up on her arms and pivoting around to get to the toys she is interested in. It’s such a joy to watch her explore the world around her.
💕Thanks so much for your help in encouraging her development. It’s been amazing!"
Kristi, Yoga teacher and Mama of 1

"Truly appreciate all your suggestions and support. Such a generous and valuable gift you offer through this page! Thank you!"
