BABYGYM DEVELOPMENTAL Q&A

Question:
"Does tummy time on the floor and tummy time on the bed have the same developmental value?"

Answer:
No, unfortunately not.

The tummy time we encourage as BabyGym Instructors starts on a parent's chest during the newborn stage and progresses to the floor as soon as possible, with a parent close by for encouragement and interaction.

The floor provides a firm, stable surface that allows babies to push against gravity effectively, strengthening the neck, shoulders, back, and core muscles needed for future milestones.

A bed or other soft surface like a compactum absorbs much of your baby's effort and reduces the developmental benefits.

PREPARING FOR BABY GOES BEYOND THE NURSERY
🧠🫶🏻🌱

Preparing for your baby's arrival isn't only about what you buy—it's about understanding how to nurture the incredible brain and body that are growing before your eyes.

Newborn Brain Essentials is a science-based workshop designed to help parents confidently navigate pregnancy, birth, and the precious first weeks of life. Drawing on neuroscience, developmental research, and evidence-based recommendations, we unpack what truly matters for your baby's body and brain development during this remarkably sensitive period.

You will discover how your birth experience, natural instincts and interactions at home can powerfully influence your baby's neurological development, emotional well-being, and long-term health.

📍Presented in both Afrikaans and English across South Africa and Namibia.

📔Your workshop registration includes a full-colour book packed with practical, evidence-based information to support you on your parenting journey.

🌱Give your baby the very best start in life. Join a workshop near you!

“When we play music for children, their brains light up. When we sing along with them, their hearts light up.” ~ Nancy Kopman

A parent who can jiggle and jive around with their child ignites laughter time and time again! May you sing loudly, dance freely, and have lots of fun together this weekend!
