How to get enough Tummy Time this Christmas
For most of the festivities involve being out and about, travelling between gatherings and lots of fun, however this can limit the time your baby has for free play and floor based tummy time. Tummy time not only provides the opportunity for supporting posture development, but it also gives your child time to play, explore, have space and learn elements of self regulation. So how do you make sure your baby gets enough tummy time this festive season between all your commitments?
Firstly, understanding how much tummy time your child needs will help you make sure you are providing the minimum time, and then anything more is a wonderful bonus!

SELL OUT EVENT!!
Our centre has only been open for a short period of time since July 2016. Already we have had a great response with families in the Newcastle community with some of our events we have hosted recently.
Dr Amanda Watson (Chiropractor) hosted a sell out event alongside Renee from Sweet Dreams Baby (Certified Sleep Consultant) on 'Nurturing Sleep - A workshop for tired Mums!'
We had great feedback from the attendees saying that the skills and information gathered from the event was helpful & informative. It was great to give the Mum's some tips & skills to help babies sleep. We have another Sleep workshop coming soon due to such great demand! So register here to keep informed of these types of upcoming events.
Our aim is to always help our families grow together healthily, happily & be able to function at our fullest potential. Through our continued research, workshops & events whilst keeping chiropractic care at the forefront we will always be supporting families and here if you have any questions.
