Babies: 0 - 3 Months

What are you doing for tummy time?

Does LO have a playmat for tummy time? Or do you just have them on your chest? Or something else?

Re: What are you doing for tummy time?

  • i have used a play mat and boppy... both have worked just fine. but sometimes i just put her down on a blanket with something for her to look at in front of her.

  • I use my chest mostly, the couch and my bed. I will probably start using a playmat in the next few weeks.

  • a little of both... but my DS prefers being on my chest versus the playmat. Basically on the mat I just wave rattles and stuffed animals by his head and cheer him on when he pushes his head and/or body up
  • A little of both. Most of her tummy time is on our chest. But I have an activity mat and occasionally remember to flip her over on her tummy.
  • For now, most of her tummy time is on my chest but I have started using the playmat and Boppy occasionally. I remember with DD1 that it took some time for her to tolerate tummy time on those -- and the Boppy was easier than the playmat -- so I didn't use them consistently until after she was two months old.

  • Ugh I am so bad about tummy time, but Alexandra is SO strong and is always rearing back and moving her head when we hold her face-to-chest.

     

    PS I am also really bad about vitamin D drops :(

     I'm so bad too.  I feel bad about it.  But she does the same thing when she's face to chest.  LOL!  I feel really bad when she starts screaming when I have her on her tummy.  So I pick her up and end it.  LOL!

    We bought a tummy time mat and as soon as he is on his tummy he SCREAMS. I gave up on using the mat. Now he just stays on my chest and raises his head.
