• Encourages attachment and bonding
• Provides physical and emotional relief from discomfort and tension
• Relaxes and balances baby’s nervous system
• Stimulation of skin promotes brain and muscle development

For an infant, nurturing touch and compassionate communication are imperative for their health and development. Massage can also help to alleviate common infant symptoms such as gas, constipation and general fussiness.

MOMMY & ME
TUMMY TIME AND TOYS

For pre-crawling babies

$20/class

Join Tracey Jedrzejek, Tummy Time™ Method instructor and former toy product developer (LeapFrog toys), as you learn and play with your baby!

Come meet other new moms in your area and learn lots of new ways to play. Clean and age-appropriate toys will be provided for your use during the class. Sleeping and nursing babies are always welcome. Handout provided after class so you can practice with your baby at home.

You may have heard that you are supposed to be doing “Tummy Time” with your baby. Why is this important? Because we put babies to sleep on their backs, they are not given as much opportunity to develop their neck and trunk muscles, which are very important for feeding and eventually rolling and crawling. Not all babies like Tummy Time and many babies only last a few minutes or seconds before expressing discomfort. But don’t worry! There are numerous ways to support your baby as they learn how to hold their head up and build neck strength. Come learn about different options!

• Is there a “correct” way to do Tummy Time with my baby?
• How many times per day should my baby be doing Tummy Time and for how long?
• What if my baby doesn’t like Tummy Time?

Exposing your baby to age-appropriate toys that interest them is a big part of their development, as they explore the world around them using all of their senses.

• What toys are appropriate for my baby at different ages and stages?
• How will the type of play evolve as my baby grows?
• How can I use toys to support my baby on their upcoming milestones?

As a former infant toy product developer with a master’s degree in child development, Tracey is extremely knowledgeable about all stages of development during the first year of life. During this class, she will teach you various ways to do Tummy Time and will share her favorite toys and teach you how to play with your baby as you support them on their milestones.
