Tummy Time is not part of the Pikler® Approach. Placing your baby in an unnatural position can be detrimental to her natural development. When she is ready to roll onto her tummy she will do so herself.
If you place her there prematurely, she won’t yet have the neck muscles to lift her head, nor will she be able to remove her arms from beneath her. This will be a frustrating posture for Baby. This is also true in the crib, or as a sleeping position.
