A quieter way to start tummy time
Designed by a pediatric occupational therapist and thoughtfully crafted from natural cork in Portugal for supervised tummy time.
The founder
Why trust the person who made this
TummyTopia began in practice, not in a boardroom. After years of working with babies and their families, pediatric occupational therapist Alexandra Cowan, MOT, OTR/L, created TummyTopia to make supervised tummy time feel more approachable from the very beginning.
the material
Natural cork, made in Portugal
We chose cork because it is naturally firm, durable, and easy to wipe clean. It provides stable support without the deep compression of many foam alternatives, while offering a timeless look that feels at home in modern living spaces.
Each TummyTopia wedge is made from natural cork in Portugal and is PVC free, phthalate free, and BPA free.
Where TummyTopia began
As a pediatric occupational therapist, I spent years helping babies develop the foundational skills that begin with tummy time. I also worked with so many parents who wanted to do everything right but felt discouraged when tummy time quickly became frustrating for both them and their baby.
I found myself teaching the same simple positioning techniques and small adjustments over and over again. Families did not need to try harder. They needed thoughtful guidance and a better place to start.
When I looked for a product I truly wanted to recommend, I could not find one that reflected the same values I brought to my practice. I wanted something made from natural materials, thoughtfully designed, and beautiful enough to belong in a family's home.
That is why I created TummyTopia. It is a natural cork positioning support designed to help make supervised tummy time feel more comfortable for babies and more approachable for parents, while giving families the confidence to enjoy those early moments together.
Your baby cries the second you put them down.
You're not doing anything wrong. Tummy time is hard, unfamiliar work for a small body, and most babies protest it at first. What usually helps isn't willpower. It's a little support while they build the strength for it.
How the TummyTopia Works
-
Babies must lift their head straight up, working against the full pull of gravity.
-
A gentle incline offers a more supportive starting position.
