The Back
What's really important to remember is that all babies develop at different stages. By carrying out back massage we are slowly introducing and encouraging tummy time. Some babies will really enjoying and feel confident being on their tummy; they are seeing their world from a different perspective, it's new and it's interesting for them, some won't like being on their tummy and that's OKAY over time they might enjoy it. However, there are many positions to pop baby in so they can benefit from back massage too, which you'll learn my classes. ♡
