Over 3 mo old and STILL hates tummy time

Anyone else?? I figured she would get used to it by now. She will only tolerate 10 min (and that is rare). We try to get it in 3x a day. I am afraid she will never roll over or crawl!

    Honestly, DS flat out refused tummy time (screaming after a minute) until about 3 1/2 months. All of a sudden he was willing to do it a few weeks ago. He could raise up on his arms just fine & rolled over yesterday for the first time.... so he's catching up just fine. :) Just keep trying. I used to think tummy time was a lost cause for us.

    K is exactly the same way. She will tolerate it for about 10mins. I flip her back over on her back for about 10 mins then try again. Just keep at it.

    My DD still hates tummy time. She rolled over a week before she turned 3 months. It doesn't seem to hinder her milestones.

    My 2 year old DD hated to be on her tummy for any length of time. She started rolling from back to belly at 3 1/2 months and would cry and cry because she hated to be on her stomach. It took her a couple of weeks to learn to like to be on her stomach and actually ended up sleeping better on her belly than on her back. To this day she is still a belly sleeper. She had no problems at all as a result of hating tummy time, so try not to worry too much. She will learn to like it! :)

    Practice makes perfect. I know some people set the baby in front of the tv with baby Einstein or some other dribble, and that seems to help. Jude doesn't like tummy time because he wants to move and can't. He gets very frustrated. Now that he can scootch in a circle, he tolerates it for longer periods. Just keep at it.
