About tumtum

The tumtum is the first product of its kind. It was made specifically to support babies and caregivers during tummy time. Our custom-made wedge is sturdy and crafted with environmentally friendly dense foam and covered with a faux-leather cover for easy wiping. The tumtum is affordable, transportable, and will help promote more tummy time, wherever baby goes, leading to more time in this most important position.

The tumtum is appropriate for pre-crawling babies of all ages, offering a gentle support to help make this important position less stressful and more fun for both babies and their caregivers.

The tumtum was developed & tested by Pediatric Physical Therapist Dr. Mirav Newman, PT, DPT over many years and trials in a clinical setting. Read the full story here.

Tummy time is an important skill which supports development and helps babies meet their milestones. The tumtum wedge was made to offer the foundation babies need to safely and comfortably excel in tummy time.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 60 to 80 minutes of tummy time per day for all babies. Let the tumtum get you there.
