Tummy time activities for 2 month old
At 2 months old, moving your baby’s tummy time activities to the floor of the living room or nursery is a natural transition. Make sure you create a safe and comfortable place for your baby using a soft blanket or activity mat. Here are some tummy time ideas to entertain your little one at this age:
- Use a pillow. As babies continue to strengthen their neck muscles, it might be helpful to use a pillow to prop babies up at a 30 to 45 degree angle. This makes it a little easier for babies to lift their head and engage in tummy time activities. You can use a nursing pillow or even a rolled up towel to elevate them!
- Wrist rattles or noise makers. At this age, wrist rattles or other noise makers serve as great entertainment if you’re wondering how to make tummy time fun. It also provides sensory stimulation as they begin to track the noises.
- Get on their level. If parents are unsure what to do during tummy time other than supervise, we suggest getting down on their level! Lay down on your own tummy so that you are eye-to-eye with your baby. This is a great opportunity to bond with your little one through smiling, cooing, and eye contact.
Now your baby should be attempting to lift their head more and more, and even starting to attempt to tilt their head to one side
