Tummy Time Water Mat

Tummy time is key to your baby's development, but it's not always easy to do. For kids tummies, time is quite challenging. That’s why we designed the Tummy Time Water Mat for your baby. Different play mats have different purposes. Some seat your baby on their back or front and you can use them from birth. If you're looking for ways to help your baby with tummy time, try using a mat after a few months when they've built up some initial stamina and a little ability to lift their neck and head.

When your baby is less than 3 months old, you can do a variety of activities to support them forward and encourage them to hold their head up. Using a baby carrier, resting them on your chest, or holding them over your shoulder can be a great aid in initially strengthening their neck muscles.

When should I use a tummy time water mat?

Our recommendation is to use a tummy time water mat when your baby is 3 months old. At 3 months your baby can properly engage with black-and-white visual cues and has enough strength to support himself for short periods of time to be able to benefit from a play mat.

How to use a water mat?

Give your baby some space to explore, adding some toys or visual aids close at hand to help if needed. So that they spend a long time on their tummy to help encourage them to see and reach for things. When your baby learns to roll over and crawl, they try to get off the normal mat. So this mat helps encourage them to spend more time on the mat.

When will your baby enjoy a tummy time water mat?

During the third to the fourth month, your baby will be able to support more of their weight with their arms. This can help them lift their heads a little higher and engage more with the floating shapes on the mat during water tummy time. At 4 months, your baby should have more control over their neck muscles. At this age, the Tummy water play mat will help to increase the amount of fun your child spends in front of them. Experts recommend that by 4 months, your baby should spend 60 to 90 minutes on his tummy. But it should be spent 3/4 times, not at once. 

This can be quite difficult to achieve without giving your baby the right support and enough entertainment to keep them on their tummy for long periods of time. If they get pretty upset after a minute, you can put them down in front of you 60 times a day to help them get time.
