Why baby should be allowed to lie on his tummy

It is important for a baby's motor development that he or she is allowed to lie on his or her tummy and play. A foam floor is perfect for this, as it is not too soft, but at the same time prevents baby from hitting himself when he rolls over. The floor is the best place to place baby when it comes to motor development. This is where baby learns to lift his head, crawl forward and later crawl and walk. A cosy play corner for baby is therefore a great idea.

Letting your baby develop his motor skills will result in:

• Joy of movement and play
• Good condition and normal weight
• Easier to participate in games and thus make friends

When baby is lying on his tummy, it takes a lot of effort to lift his head. This strengthens the muscles in both the neck and back. Avoid piling your baby up with pillows and duvets before she can sit up herself. It's best if your child is allowed to develop her motor skills at her own pace, becoming more confident and motorically strong.
