mine doesn't so I do it in short increments

Re: does your 3 month old like tummy time?

  • My four month old HATES tummy time. I usually make her do tummy time 3 or 4 times a day and they last about 2-3 minutes.

  • Hates it. I feel bad cause we dont do it as often as we should, but he either lays there and screams, or farts and falls asleep.
  • Hates it!

  • At 3 months J HATED tummy time. He just recently started tolerating playing on his belly.

  • DS hated it at 3 mo and still doesn;t like it.  But he started rolling belly to back this week so I guess he can control it now!
  • Mine pretty much hates it, though since she can now hold her head up pretty good she has tolerated it longer this week.  She actually did tummy time for 10 minutes or so last night without screaming.

  • At 3 months E hated it.  Now she loves it :)
  • My 5 1/2 mth old still hates it. Pretty well as soon as I put her down she grabs a toy and rolls over.  I use to put her on a boppy to keep her tummy down but now she rolls off that too. She's never going to crawl. ;)

  • She hated it at 3 months. She's just now getting the strength to hold her head up, so she's tolerating it. Have you tried putting a rolled up towel under lo's chest to elevate their head? That seemed to work a little better.
  • DD still hates tummy time.  Although, I have noticed that she has recently started to tolerate it a bit longer than she did before.  She learned to roll from her back to her belly first, and then would cry because she was stuck on her belly.  It was kind of funny and frustrating at the same time.  Thankfully, she has now started to roll from belly to back.

  • Just recently started hating it.  I used to be able to get 10 minutes out of her at a time, easily.  Now I'm lucky if I get two.  She whines and then it turns into full on crying with tears.  I think it's almost a "feel sorry for me" game.  I keep at it though.

  • Mine hates it. It makes me cry because he acts like I'm torturing him.
  • He likes it a little more now than he did a month ago.   We try to do it 3 times a day for as long as he will stay on his tummy. The longest was probably 5 minutes, but doesn't happen often.
