Why the "100-Day" Milestone is Actually Better at 4 Months
The Magic of Tummy Time Strength
By waiting until 4 months old, your baby typically reaches a physical turning point:
Better Head Control: They can confidently lift their head and chest, allowing for that classic, steady "look at the camera" pose.
Higher Energy Levels: A 4-month-old baby has more stamina to stay active and engaged throughout the session.
More Facial Expressions: At this stage, social smiling is more consistent, giving you those heart-melting grins and curious gazes.
At exactly 100 days (around 3 months)
Many babies are still developing the neck strength required for extended "tummy time". If pushed to lift their heads before they are ready, they can quickly become unsettled or tired.
From a photography perspective, if a baby is unhappy with tummy time, the poses will be very limited. In these cases, the session often results in poses that are only face-up, which reduces the variety of your final gallery.
More Variety, Less Stress
A baby who is comfortable on their tummy is a baby who can explore more poses. This means parents walk away with a much wider variety of photos for their collection. Instead of struggling with a fussy baby who isn't enjoying the pose, we capture a chubby, happy baby who is genuinely enjoying the interaction.
