  1. * N = 28 parents (Group 1: MBQ-B Open on Day 7 and Day 10). N = 6 had not reached the rolling milestone and completed the tummy time item. Deletions for missing data on Day 7 or Day 10 were as follows: Active Play (N = 2); Restrained Time (N = 2); Non-interactive Screen Time (N = 1), Interactive Screen Time (N = 1); Sleep (N = 1)
