Why is tummy time important for my baby?

Tummy time builds head, neck and upper body strength, it will help your baby to develop skills they need to crawl, roll over, sit up and begin to stand. Your baby will naturally start trying to lift her head to see what is going on around her, but she won’t be able to hold her head up for long periods of time until she is around 3 or 4 months old.
