@priscilla_parks94. Don't do it when he's sleepy.talk to him.sing to him...put a colorful toy near by

@sherrynygirl, i try and wait a little after he eats when he is most awake and I give him toys and interact with him, but he tries to push up with his chest more so than arms and gets so fussy after about 20 min or so

We play airplane first and I set out tons of toys for him to see and feel

@dhamiphoenix, i will try that!! Thanks a ton!!!

@priscilla_parks94, I hope it works! My son hate to just be set down even if there are toys. We play airplane to show him his cool world from another view and that I'm still right there having fun with him. A little mommy and me time then a few minutes of tummy time. He usually rolls himself over and then plays with the hanging toys from his playmat. It doesn't last long but it is a good amount of time for a little baby

I'd suggest to try always a bit longer! 20min is a great time - my boy falls asleep after sometimes and I watch him sleep on his belly- must be very exhausting 😂
But if you do it every day for 1 minute longer, your baby gets more comfortable. And when he cries pick him up - and try later.

@dhamiphoenix, he loves interactions and being played with, but not so much being a lone he tolerates it for a little bit but then nope haha but I will try all of this and see how it goes :)

@mi.mommy, yea i try and do it longer each time and I pick him up when he starts to cry so he doesn't think tummy time is awful lol I want him to enjoy everything in life :) but thank you for all the advice it was much needed!!
