Does tummy time on the boppy count?

It's the only way I can get him to tolerate it for more than a minute. I feel like he's behind on his ability to lift his head so I'm trying to do as much tt as possible. But he screams and screams and screams if flat on the floor.

  • Yep, that counts! The only tummy time I did was on the Boppy and mostly on my chest, and DS has great head control.

  • I think so. Also I lay him on my chest and he gets a work out pulling his head up to look at me....it is hard in the beginning. I remember my first DS HATED tummy time.
  • DD only likes tummy time if she's on her Boppy or on my chest.  See my siggy pic below:

  • It absolutely counts.  You might try gradually moving toward removing the boppy, like by rolling up receiving blankets and placing them under the baby, boppy-like.  But anything that gets babies in the prone position to push up on hands is beneficial.
