How often do you/should you do tummy time? My daughter is 2 months old, and I'm afraid I don't do it as often as I should. Her pediatrician said she was "very strong", and that she had "great neck muscles", but I'm just wondering if I need to be doing it more. When I lay her there she just sucks on her hand or licks the play mat. 😑. She doesn't even try to lift her neck. But, holding her, you would think she was a year old. Her neck is super strong in that position. Is she just being lazy on the mat?

My doctor said to do it a few times a day for 15 mins

(@reaganmommy2015) I definitely need to do it more then. I only lay her on her play mat once a day for like twenty mins. Thank you!

She's just learning what to do I think, she might not understand why she's on her tummy because babies are used to being on their back.

(@melisssa) Very true. I guess it's more than just strengthening the neck.

@jennatess, it also help them not get flat head as well plus my older daughter would get mad when I did it with her

(@reaganmommy2015, ) what did you do when your daughter got mad?
