He should be observed during tummy time on a flat, comfortable but firm surface. Avoid any bedding around his head. The tummy is important to improve muscle strength and neck/head control. He should have his usual immunizations per AAP guidelines. Please discuss his schedule with your Pediatrician. Allowing 15 minutes at a time is recommended as tolerated.
