Method: Longitudinal observational study carried out with caregivers of infants, between 1 and 6 months, attended at a public maternity and child health care service. From the report obtained in the structured interview, sociodemographic data, information on pregnancy, childbirth and the newborn were collected; care for the child, familiarity of the parents with prone position’s practice and the age at which the child reached the motor milestones, classified as typical (when he presented the expected milestone for age) or atypical (when he did not). A second contact was made at 6 and 12 months of age to track the risk of delayed motor development by Survey of Wellbeing of Young Children (SWYC). To identify the repercussions of Tummy Time’s practice in reaching motor milestones, infants were allocated to the Tummy Time Group (when the parents reported setting aside a daily time to perform the Tummy Time) or the Control Group (other infants) and the Chi-square test was performed for an association analysis. Results: 72 families were evaluated and 39 included in the analysis, 21 were allocated to the Tummy Time group. In the comparison between the groups, 71.43% of the infants who reached the expected motor milestone were in the Tummy Time group, while 66.7% of the Control Group showed atypical development for their age (p = 0.0174). Conclusions: The acquisition of motor milestones predominated in the group that practiced the Tummy Time daily, suggesting, within its limitations, a positive association of the method in motor development, but not representing a later risk of delay.Acesso AbertoTummy timeDecúbito ventralRecém-nascidoDesenvolvimento infantilmasterThesis
