Envision tummy time for an infant. What does that look like? Think beyond the basic prone position and consider what other different infant play positions could be used during tummy time play? Join this course for exploration of a variety of several infant play positions as we discuss the benefits of each. Did you know that offering tummy time can even help prevent certain conditions? Attend this learning event and leave with the ability to write the importance of tummy time positions for the families of infants in your care as well as identifying the essential principles of infant positioning.
