Momma Tip - tummy time

This one comes from a friend of a friend. It can be hard to get babies to spend time on their tummy when they're first learning to hold their head up. Here's a way to stretch out the time. 

1. Take your breastfeeding pillow and put it on the floor. 
2. Place your alert baby inside the horseshoe face down so the baby is angled head up, belly on the cushion and feet on the floor. 
3. Put toys in front the baby.
4. Watch your baby carefully. Make sure they don't fall asleep, or bury their head in the pillow. 

This trick got my daughter to actually spend 2-3 minutes on her tummy.

Any other tips for mommas?
