Can I use the product for tummy time?Updated a year ago

Yes! So long as you and your newborn are using tummy time as an exercise in healthy stimulation, we actively encourage using the newborn lounger nest for tummy time. The product is designed to actively assist parents in helping stimulate their newborns in a safe space. 

To initiate tummy time, place the tube underneath your newborn's chest and armpits, allowing their arms to extend forward. The cushion around the lounger can provide a sturdy support for your newborn's arms; in this position, you can stimulate play with your newborn while observing them, ensuring that tummy time is manageable and comfortable for everyone involved.

To read more about tummy time and its benefits, we encourage visiting Nemours KidHealth's for their excellent write-up, as well as any additional health resources made available freely on the web.

However, as a gentle reminder, the newborn lounger nest is not a sleep product. As soon as your newborn falls asleep during tummy time, remove them from the lounger and immediately place them on a firm, flat surface that complies with mandatory sleep standards.
