How consistent tummy time on the Burplee helped my baby hit milestones faster

“I bought it thinking, ‘There’s no way this thing works.’ A week later, I was eating my words.”

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.

So I bought the Burplee and I honestly was fully prepared to be disappointed

When it arrived, I wasn’t expecting some miracle product.

And to my surprise… it was.

Actually, it was better.

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

Flat mats make lifting harder. The Burplee gives just enough elevation to help them succeed early.

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.

Bright bedroom with plants, white bedding, and a floor lamp.

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
