When should I Start Tummy-time With My Baby?

If your newborn reacts to tummy time like it's some sort of betrayal, welcome to the club.

But even a few short minutes a day can work wonders for their strength and development.

Most experts recommend starting tummy time from day one — and it doesn’t have to mean placing them flat on the floor.

Try resting your baby on your chest or across your legs. Make it part of your daily cuddle routine.

Every little effort helps build strength and coordination for later milestones (and yep, it’s super cute to photograph too).

As a baby photographer in Brisbane with 14 years’ experience, I’ve seen all kinds of baby personalities.

Some love to stretch and show off their neck muscles, others prefer curling up like sleepy dumplings.

During your newborn session with me, we always follow your baby’s lead.

No stress, no pressure, just a safe, relaxed experience led by a Brisbane newborn photographer who puts your baby’s comfort and safety first.
