Does babywearing count as tummy time? In this video, certified babywearing educator and mom of two, Angela, breaks down what babywearing actually does for your baby’s development—and whether it can replace traditional tummy time.
You’ll learn how babywearing engages your baby’s core, neck, and postural muscles as they make constant micro-adjustments while being carried. We also explain why chest-to-chest positioning mimics the benefits of tummy time, and when it does count according to a pediatric occupational therapist.
But here’s the key: babywearing is a supplement—not a replacement for floor tummy time. Discover why floor time is still essential for building fine motor skills, sensory development, balance, and strength through pushing up and weight shifting.
This is a must-watch for new parents wondering how to support their baby’s development—especially if your newborn resists tummy time.
👶 In this video:
