  Keep going!!! Do a few minutes only and have toys or your face in front of him. Also: burp really well before you do it!

  Tummy time on your chest counts. Don't force it if he hates it

  This article helped me- we didn't do every step, but I did a few and they got her more comfortable with it. I put a mirror in front of DD and hold toys next to her-- she is now at an age where these things are starting to distract and motivate her. https://mamaot.com/2012/03/25/tips-for-making-tummy-time-a-little-less-um-miserable/

  You can help him get started by pushing him up on his elbows if his neck is strong enough for that. If his face isn't planted on the blanket he won't be as angry. Or you can do that move on a yoga ball. Get behind him on the ball and roll towards a mirror.. As you roll the ball farther, he'll work harder.

  A mirror might help. Also, maybe just flip him over on the changing table for a minute or 2 every time you change a diaper.

  My LO hates it so we don't do it. I guess I should ask her pedi about what happens if we never do tummy time!

  My baby is unpredictable. Sometimes he loves tummy time, other times he will scream immediately. He does spend a lot of time laying on me, and he can lift/hold his head.
