About Baby Tummy Time
Tummy time is one of those things every parent hears about but few enjoy. Babies often dislike being on their front, and it doesn’t take long to run out of ways to keep them interested.
Baby Tummy Time turns your iPhone or iPad into a sensory play mat, with high-contrast patterns, gentle sounds and scenes that respond to movement and touch. It started with the high-contrast books our co-founder Michael Hayes used at home, and the idea of making them interactive.
Baby Tummy Time is for entertainment and encouragement during play. Always stay with your baby during tummy time, and speak to your health visitor if you have any concerns about their development.
Scenes babies love
Choose from high-contrast patterns, mesmerising animations and illustrated worlds, all full screen.
Interactive play

Make it personal
See your baby's name bouncing around, your own photos in colourful frames, or a mirror mode with stickers.

Milestones to celebrate

When my daughters were young we used tummy time books to help them build neck strength and reduce the risk of flat spots. My youngest is now three so well out of the target range, but the idea of turning those books into an interactive app had been nagging me for years. I finally decided to act on it.
