📖 The Baby Blueprint — understand your baby's brain & behavior. 👉 https://theborntoknow.com/ (use code YOUTUBE10 for 10% off) Tummy time is doing far more inside your baby’s brain than building neck strength. It’s one of the earliest ways babies learn gravity, body awareness, effort, frustration, and connection. Learn what your baby may actually be experiencing during tummy time, how to tell effort from overload, and what helps the brain learn best. This breakdown connects baby development, sensory processing, attachment, and practical tummy time support for parents. In this video: → Why tummy time is an early brain-building experience, not just a physical exercise → How gravity, the vestibular system, and proprioception help babies build a body map → Why your face and voice can be more motivating than toys during tummy time → How babies begin learning agency and cause-and-effect through small movements → The difference between productive effort and nervous system overload during fussing → Practical ways to time, scale, and support tummy time so it feels more manageable 🤍 This channel will always stay free. The 2am Club is simply for those who'd like to support it further.
