Baby Exercises: Tummy Time 1.3.1

The app assists babies in exercising their neck muscles while laying on their stomach, featuring engaging visuals and familiar baby sounds.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• A monochromatic caterpillar moves from the bottom to the top of the screen, encouraging the baby to follow it with their eyes and lift their head.
• The caterpillar emits a spatial positional sound similar to a baby's rattle toy, providing auditory stimulation for the baby to focus on.
• Interacting with the screen causes leaves to appear for the caterpillar to "eat"! Additionally, you can activate the camera background mode so that babies can see themselves, as they tend to enjoy it.

FEATURES

• Designed for babies, even from newborn stage, with the following attributes:
• High-contrast monochromatic visual patterns that are easily visible for infants with developing eyesight.
• Positional rattle sound from the caterpillar, offering auditory stimulation and helping focus the baby's attention.
• Camera mode allows the baby to be their own point of interest.
• Timer function tracks how much time the baby has spent on their tummy.

This application was created to make tummy time enjoyable and aid your baby in achieving crucial cognitive and physical milestones recommended by the CDC:

• Tracking objects with eyes.
• Ability to hold their head up.
• Turning head towards sounds.

HOW TO USE

Here are some suggestions on how to utilize the app:

1. Place your baby on their tummy with the game displayed in front. The baby will work on strengthening neck muscles by tracking the caterpillar. Cease if the baby becomes fussy or struggles to maintain an upright head.
2. Sit down and hold your baby in your lap. Initiate the game and tap to change the caterpillar's direction, observing how your baby follows it. If they attempt to interact independently, they are doing great!
3. Create your ways to play and observe your baby - make exercising beneficial and enjoyable for both of you!
