Peace can be tummy time but sometimes baby needs some encouragement to play while laying on their tummy. Starting from newborn age tummy time is important for babies to strengthen their back and neck muscles and it helps prevent flat spots from developing on the back or side of an infant's head.
Spending a few minutes as a newborn and building up to fifteen to thirty minutes a few times a day as the baby gets a few months old helps provide muscle strengthening playtime. The younger infant may sleep and to reduce risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) it is recommended to have them on their back for more extended naps and bedtime. The older infant may get bored and might enjoy having their caregiver in front with a toy to look at. They also can learn to strengthen their leg muscles for later crawling development if the caregiver sits so the infant can push their feet against the caregiver's leg.
See more about tummy time here: "Babies Need Tummy Time!" .
Switching arms for holding and feeding a baby also helps promote even muscle development. Spoon feeding the older baby from a variety of directions can also help them strengthen their neck muscles and develop evenly. When an infant is always turning their head in the same direction the muscles of the neck can sometimes become tightened and shortened in that direction (a condition called torticollis which can also occur as a birth condition).

What is the best time for baby sleeping. I'm trying to get him sleep at night but insist to walk at night. I have about it that night walks is best for baby. Is that true?
It depends on the age of the baby somewhat. Newborns sleep an average of 16 hours out of the 24 but may need to eat every two hours, so sleepless breast feeding mom is common the first month. Gradually baby is eating a larger amount at feedings and can sleep longer in a stretch. Mine did start sleeping longer at night and would go to sleep sooner after eating. Keeping it dimly lit and soothing during the night hours and being more interactive with smiling and babbling back to them during the day may help guide baby to fall asleep sooner during the night hours and stay awake longer during the daytime hours. During the first month they may also be adjusting from having been rocked to sleep during the day by pregnant mom's walking activity and then waking up at night while she is sleeping and still. So walking and gently rocking in a side to side manner, rather than a jiggly up and down direction might help by mimicking what it might have felt like while baby was still warm and snug inside momma. Best wishes to you, hope that helps.
