Anyone have tips? I know Thea is supposed to be doing tummy time, but she starts crying after 5-10 minutes. She used to be okay with it for longer and then would be okay doing more while laying on my chest. Now, she will be there for awhile, and grab and pull at the floor and her playmat, forward, like she is trying to pull herself and then totally loses it.

It does not matter if I sit with her or if I leave her alone.

I don't have any suggestions. Declan hates tummy time so I let him do it until he's crying and then I'm like Yay!!! You did it buddy!

Even a short tummy time is better than none.😊 our little also hated it, so we did some angled tummy time on our legs that were propped up, or our chest that was propped and that helped too.

That'a a good point and I haven't tried her on my legs, thank you.

Tummy time doesnt have to be belly to floor. Lay her on your belly, on your legs, babywearing, all count as belly time.

the app doesn't change the age in the profile until the day of the month they were born. She was born on the 13th of November, so even thoigh, she has technically lived 3 months, she won't be marked as 3 months until the 13th. She will be 15wks and 1 day.

they're not 3 months until the same day on the 3rd month, the app is right... that seems so strange. I need more coffee apparently. I still wouldn't encourage it too often at 14 weeks its more along 4-5 months that it's ok. If she puts herself there, I'd let her stay a bit and then encourage a more supported position. Short intervals.

lol, thank you, she does slouch a bit after awhile sometimes, so I will try intervals and see if I can get her to be content in more of a reclined position.
