7 A.M. Tummy Time

Your baby's slept on his back all night, so 15 minutes after breakfast, flip him over on a blanket to play for a little while. He'll gain neck strength, and getting used to being on his tummy will help him learn to crawl.

What do you think of this story?  Tell Us.

Some babies who are pushed to walk early get bandy legs and/or poor gait. Big babies tend to walk later than small babies. Babies with less tummy time (most babies have less tummy time than our parents gave us because of the "back to sleep" campaign) crawl later and then walk later too. Not an issue until 18 months.

She will be fine. Bring a bottle and some toys. My daughter and I flew to California (from Kansas, about a 3.5 hr flight) when she was 4 months old and she did fine. Just make sure to keep her occupied and wait to feed her until you get on the plane. Eating helps her to pop her ears.
