Baby Shaking & Tummy Time ?

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Hello all!  Hope everyone had a good holiday season!  

I have been noticing that when LO gets excited/scared he shakes.  Whenever he is in his nap nanny/swing/play mat it looks like he either gets so excited or so anxious that he just is like shaking really fast/flailing.  Is this normal?

 Plus LO still just cries during tummy time...we haven't been as consisitent with doing tummy time lately but I was wondering at what point do they begin to enjoy that/going after toys?  

LO will be 4 months next Sunday.

    He's been flailing, but it's like he is shaking his little arms while he is flailing, not his whole body.

    My LO flails arms too when excited. As for tummy time she enjoys it more and more but still only lasts maybe 3-5minutes before she rolls over or cries (signalling us to roll her). She doesn't reach for toys at all while on tummy. However she is starting to raise her butt up and push with her feet...maybe army crawling is soon :)

    My LO does not like tummy time for long periods but she likes it more now that we have done the "superman" She also shakes when she gets excited and kicks her little feet around.

    My LO shakes like how you describe too. So does my 6 month old nephew. Ir normal. My LO hates tummy time too. So much so she learned to roll at 10 weeks lol. I usually just do 5 or 10 minutes 3 times a day.

    my one DD hated tummy time and is my shaker. For tummy time our ped told us to continue with it for a few minutes, place her tummy down across our lap so her head was hanging off for a few minutes to encourage her to lift, and to burp over the should to help strengthen the neck. 

    As for the shaking she does it when she gets scared. We were told not to worry she will out grow it eventually.
