Alternatives to Tummy Time?

LO HATES being on her stomach - I'm lucky if she makes it 30 seconds of being on her stomach before she starts screaming, burying her head into the mat and turning red in the face from it.

Any alternatives to it? She's got great head control (can sit up with help, move head around, etc) but if I was to place her on her stomach, she can't push herself up with her arms, unless she's on my chest.

    If she's doing it on your chest it still counts as tummy time.

    Chest time is tummy time :)  Babywearing also helps develop core muscles and cuts down the amount of tummy time needed.

    Glad to read these replies- your daughter's tummy time sounds just like my son's- let's just say he's not a fan!! (The only difference is I wouldn't say head/neck control is his strength but he's getting there)
