Biddy Belly for Tummy Time!

The Biddy Belly is a fabulous new invention by Robin Tacchetti, a Physical Therapist and mother of three, who observed all three of her children struggle with tummy time.  She knew how important tummy time was for muscle development, yes she was unable to keep her babies from getting frustrated and crying in the prone position.  She put her ideas into play and the “Biddy Belly” was born!

Some of the benefits include:
* Increases strength in shoulders, arms, back and head
* Decreases risk of gross motor delays such as rolling, sitting and crawling
* Decreases risk of “flat spots” on the back of the head
* Decreases risk of neck muscles tightening on one side of the neck
* Promotes cognitive development (thinking and reasoning skills)

Biddy Belly’s unique shape and gradual incline help promote correct muscle development.

Robin sent me one of her great inventions and I have been able to test the Biddy Belly with some little ones.  My testers, ages three weeks and three months, both did great on the Biddy Belly.  The three week old obviously had less strength and ability to hold her head up, but both babies seemed content on the Biddy Belly to look at the giraffe’s face and the cute distractions on the Biddy Belly, like the the attached toys on either side of the giraffe’s head (which, by the way, are removable so you can add your own instead – big plus).  One other thing I really liked about the Biddy Belly is the removable side bars between the giraffe’s paws.  When your baby starts to get bigger and use his legs when on his belly, it’s nice you can remove the bars for more leg room.   It’s also imperative to have a washable cover with spitting up babies, which the Biddy Belly has!  Overall, I think this is a great little product for your little ones to assist them in valuable tummy time.
