5 Tips for Successful Tummy Time With Our Play Mats

“Tummy time”- as a mom, I’m sure you’ve been hearing this term since you found out you were expecting! Tummy time refers to any time your infant is in a belly-down position, usually on a floor surface, such as play mats for infants.
This positioning is essential to your babe’s development as it helps them strengthen their muscles, setting them up to hit all the exciting milestones: lift their heads, roll over, sit up, push up, crawl, and even pull to stand.
It overall strengthens your baby’s neck, shoulder, arms, and belly muscles, and it encourages their motor skills and posture control.
The challenge is that most babies don’t always like tummy time, and they can get quite fussy… you are not alone! My baby acted like tummy time was his personal torture, but we figured out what worked best for us, and I wanted to share some of that below.
Here are 5 quick tips to help your baby have a successful and *enjoyable* tummy time:

When did you start using a play mat?

Hi all,

My baby is 2 1/2 weeks old. He spends his days in his moses basket - and some time in a bouncy chair. Although he has some grisly time during the day he sleeps quite well during the night.

I have started wondering if maybe during the day I should be doing more with him while he is awake - and perhaps this is why I he is unsettled when I put him down - as he simply does not want to sleep?

At just a few weeks old can he really see much to benefit from play mats for infants? I haven't bought one yet and so wondered what people could advise.

Thanks.

What is latex foam?

Latex foam is a 100% natural foam that is made using sap from the rubber tree.
Our latex foam is made using the Dunlop process, which is the most energy efficient method of producing latex foam.

How Latex is Made:

The process starts by tapping rubber trees and extracting the tree’s white milk-type sap, similar to the way maple syrup is collected from maple trees. While the latex is in liquid form, it is foamed and poured into a mold where it is then moved into a vulcanization oven. After this process, the foam is thoroughly washed to remove excess soaps and materials while retaining its elasticity and durability. After washing, the foam is dried at a high temperature to remove all moisture from the final product.
The technique for tapping latex from rubber trees eliminates the need to cut down the tree for extraction, creating a sustainable material sourcing process.

What are the benefits:

• Carcinogen free
• Biodegradable
• High density and springy consistency- made to last
• Naturally resistant to bacteria, mildew, and mold
• Breathable
