How consistent tummy time on the Burplee helped my baby hit milestones faster
I didn’t think a lounger could make a real difference until I watched my daughter get stronger, push up confidently, and start moving earlier than I ever expected.

Note: Read this before assuming tummy time struggles are just something babies have to “grow out of.”
I kept scrolling past posts about this lounger.
Every mom in the comments was saying it helped their baby with tummy time.
Honestly? I thought it sounded dramatic.
My daughter didn’t hate tummy time, but she didn’t exactly do much during it either.
Mostly wiggling, face-planting, or getting bored fast.
I assumed that was normal.
I assumed milestone progress “just happens.”
And then I realized I’d been assuming a lot.
When it arrived, I wasn’t expecting some miracle product.
And to my surprise… it was.
Actually, it was better.
“I bought it thinking, ‘There’s no way this thing works.’ A week later, I was eating my words.”
The Transformation
Within a week:
Her lifts were higher
Her arms stayed planted
Her balance improved
She stayed engaged way longer
She pushed herself up — really up
She looked proud of herself.
And I felt proud watching her.
The strength came fast.
The confidence came even faster.
And every day, I could see her hitting tiny milestones that used to feel out of reach.
Why the Burplee makes tummy time work so much better
Here’s the thing I didn’t understand until I saw it:
A structured incline helps babies get that first push
Flat mats make lifting harder. The Burplee gives just enough elevation to help them succeed early.
The cushioned design keeps them stable
No sliding, no face-planting, no frustration.
It naturally builds strength
That slight lift encourages babies to activate their core and arms without overwhelming them.
It holds their attention longer
When they’re comfortable, they engage, explore, and actually enjoy tummy time.
This is what milestones are made of:
small moments that build on each other, day after day.
Parents notice the difference quickly:
Stronger lifts and pushes
Earlier crawling attempts
More stability + coordination
Longer, happier session
A more confident baby
Faster tummy time progress
Not overnight.
Not all at once.
Just small changes that add up — and a baby who feels more confident each day
