When did you start tummy time?[Poll]
We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    With em I started at 9 or 10 days with her on my belly. Which was a day after her cord fell off. With W I started doing the same around day 3 which was when his cord fell off. My kids have amazing upper body strength and were looking around pulling their heads up day 1. W could lift and change his head from one side to the other by day 10 and will hold his head up when he is on his belly for 2 to 3 mins at a time. He has even tried to roll over a couple of time by arching his back till he is like one degree from flipping over if his arm would just get out of the way. Did this at his 2 week check up both MWs were very impressed. I would say once baby is lifting their head up to look around when you are holding them its time to start tummy time as long as the cord stump is gone. Or at least that's what I plan on do for my next child[ren].
