Tummy Time: Making It Stimulating and Safe

Great information and keep up the good work.

Excellent class,🏆wish I would have found Tiny Hood sooner!

Yes I love tummy time and it is very very important . It teaches the baby to support their little heads and posture as well . And another thing I love about it is , the baby head in the back wouldn’t be so flat from laying flat all day !! I hate when people do that to their babies !!

I just learned some new knowledge cause I thought you had to wait for a certain amount of time to put your baby on they tummy

It would be helpful to see visual examples of picking up the baby from a laying down position and cleaning the baby below the waist in the tub. It is hard to know what to do just from a verbal description.

Ashley is such a pleasant and knowledgeable instructor! Thank. you

The instruction is clear, easy to understand and at a good pace.

Wonderful class! It addressed all my questions in a quick and straightforward way, giving me the confidence to welcome my newborn!

Informative, Great for Visual and Auditory learners or people who get sick of reading books. Helpful print outs.

I love how easy these classes are to access so you can watch anytime vs the ones you have to sign up for a set time. My husband got thru most of them before our son came but even watching now, a few weeks in has also been super helpful.

Short, simple, and sweet with all of the info I needed to know. Thank you!

Really love how the speaker goes through each of the major sections methodically and slowly. Giving rough estimates on frequency is also super helpful. I didn't know any of this info beforehand. I also like the gentle reassurance that new parents will be able to figure this out with time - I think all first time parents need to hear that, myself included. The "common questions" section is very useful.
