Hello Dr.,
For 5 months old baby can we give floor time, (without mat or cloth)? I heard that keeping the baby on the floor may get pneumonia..
Thanks in advance.

It's OK as long as it's supervised and the floor clean. It helps with development .it helps baby develop muscle strength and tone and also in the babies neurological development
But please be around and prevent baby from getting injured especially head bumps

Tummy time is crucial in promoting the development of upper body strength and coordination.
You can keep the baby of floor. It won't give pneumonia.
Wash his hands 2-3 times per day with soap and water.
