I need more advice on tummy time! Ava is 2 months old and hates it so much and hasn't progressed with moving her head. Her neck is strong but she doesn't look up when on her tummy she just screams into the surface she's on. She hates it so much the second she has pressure on her chest (actually laying on her tummy) she freaks out. Someone help!
Mine hated tummy time til around 4 months when he learned to roll. Then he loved it. And he's hit every milestone.
Have you tried one of those little pillows that you can put under her armpits to prop her up a bit? We got one with our tummy time mat but I rarely used it.
@avasmommy808 they all do . But you can't force it . babies have a mind of their own .
@damiensmommy1117 yes I've tried that but she cries with her face buried on me
@momofdeuce the pediatrician highly recommended tummy time for her chest and arm muscles (to push herself up) so I've been trying everything. She doesn't last 5 minutes (sometimes less) before she screams
@avasmommy808, don't rush it she is still little if she don't like it wait till she is bigger and even then only do one min and when she cries help her roll over. My son never did it much and he didn't roll over much either like other babies his age but he sat up couple days shy of 6 months crawled at 7 and walked at 9 I say let them b little when I see a baby his age 13m not walking I'm jealous bc I wish he wasn't so big boy as he is . Don't make her do something just bc it's common with other babies like the other lady says they have a mind of their own
