Does anyone else's LO hate tummy time?

Re: Tummy time

  • Mime loved it until 6 weeks old. Shes hated it since then and shes now almost 5 months. Im lucky if I can get her to stay on her tummy for 2 minutes.

  • My 3 DD's hated it with a passion. My DS likes it for about 20-25 minutes and then grows sick of it. Just keep doing it and even if it's a few minutes it helps. You can also try a variety of toys to find something that LO might like to look at.
  • No. Both mine really like it.

  • Mine hates it on the floor but tolerates it better on my chest. He is much more active on my chest, as well.

  • My dd hated tummy time until we got her a tummy time playmat. It comes with a pillow that gives our dd just the right support while on her tummy and makes it easier to hold her head up. We started using it around 4 months and she is so much happier for tummy time. The brand is Tiny Love and we got it at Babies R Us.
  • My LO hated tummy time when he couldn't lift his very well. He would basically just face plant into the blanket. It helped him tolerate it by putting a pillow under his arms. He's 4 months now and will do it for longer now that his head control is better. He still doesn't like it though, he just doesn't hate it as much.

  • My baby is 5 months old and now loves tummy time, but he hated it at first. I read on a website that a good way to get him used to it is to flip him on his tummy after every diaper change. It worked for us!
