Tummy Time Safety: Boppy Pillow Reclassification and Safer Alternatives Parents and caregivers are urged to exercise caution when using the original Boppy nursing pillow for tummy time. Recent safety updates have prompted the manufacturer to no longer endorse its use for this purpose.

The information underscores the need for parents and caregivers to stay informed about product safety updates and to prioritize safe practices in infant care. The availability of safer alternatives ensures that babies can enjoy tummy time without compromising their safety.
