Little and Often

A gentle acoustic folk song about tummy time in small, frequent doses - a minute or two at a time, stopping while it is still happy.

Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is the song from episode 3, “How long should tummy time actually last?”.

Lyrics

Verse

Down on the blanket, nose to the sky

You lift your head up, oh how you try

Just for a moment, then down you go

Little and often, that's how you grow

Chorus

Little and often, that's all it takes

A minute of trying, a minute of breaks

I'm here on the floor, love, right by your side

Little and often, and look how you rise

Verse

Strong little neck and two pushing arms

The whole world waiting past my open palms

No rush, no hurry, no chart to keep

Little and often, then off to sleep

Chorus

Little and often, that's all it takes

A minute of trying, a minute of breaks

I'm here on the floor, love, right by your side

Little and often, and look how you rise

Bridge

And if you fuss, well that's alright

We'll try again in the morning light

Outro

Little and often

That's how you grow
