  2. N = 43 parents (N = 28 Group 1 and N = 15 Group 3; MBQ-B Open on Day 7). N = 9 of the 43 babies had not reached the rolling milestone and completed the tummy time item. Deletions for missing data on the MBQ-B or 24-h TUD were as follows: tummy time (N = 1), Active Play (N = 4), Restrained Time (N = 7), Screen Time (N = 5), and Sleep (N = 6)

Deletions for missing data on the MBQ-B or 24-h TUD were as follows: tummy time (N = 1), Active Play (N = 8), Restrained Time (N = 9), Screen Time (N = 9), and Sleep (N = 9)
