Tummy Time, Torticollis & Flat Spots Explained

Tummy time is one of the most talked-about parts of baby development — but many parents are left wondering if they’re doing it “right”.

In this episode, Maegen sits down with a kids physiotherapist, Jessee, to talk about why tummy time is so important, how it supports your baby’s development, and what parents should know about conditions like torticollis and flat spots.

We unpack common questions parents ask, including: • What tummy time actually is and why babies need it • How tummy time supports motor development • What torticollis is and how it affects babies • Why flat spots can develop on babies’ heads • Signs parents should look out for early • Simple ways to make tummy time easier (even if your baby hates it)

If you’re a new parent or expecting a baby, this episode will help you understand what’s normal, when to seek support, and how small daily activities can make a big difference to your baby’s development.

Because tummy time isn’t just another parenting task — it’s a key building block for rolling, crawling, and moving with confidence.
