Tummy Time Q

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
How much tummy time is (did) your 1-month old getting? My DD is super sleepy and I find that I barely get her on her tummy for 1-2 minutes a day. Otherwise, she's either nursing or sleeping or crying. Thanks for sharing!

    Other than being on my chest, at one month my LO got barely any tummy time. Chest time does count though!

    He only lasts for a few minutes on the floor.  But we also put him on our chests, hold him upright a lot, use the Ergo, etc.

    My LO is a month old and she does about 1-2 mins on the floor and the rest of the time she does on my chest or holding her upright.

    Thanks so much, everyone! I didn't realize that time on my chest and upright counts. She's actually upright almost every time someone is holding her (she doesn't like the usual hold), so I should be good. Thanks again!

    my health nurse said "tummy time 10 times a day for 1 minute is better than once a day for 10 minutes"

    don't stress about it, chest time is great too :)

    when baby is a little older they'll be awake longer so you'll be able to do tummy time more often

    We do tummy time on our chests, and holding upright/in carrier at 3w+ for our daughter. We probably do it - I honestly haven't kept strict track of it because we just kinda do it all day long - at least 10-20mins worth a day in tiny increments, when she is awake. Ours sleeps a lot too!

    I tend to be the one doing it upright and daddy helps to do it flat on his chest when he gets home since I am recovering from a c-section still (it hurts to have her on me while I am flat on my back and her feet were accidentally kicking my incision area at times >.<).

    My LO is 7 weeks old and we have done about 15-30 mins a day.. definitely not all at the same time though. He actually really likes it, so I've been lucky there. Try for a few mins at a time several times a day. It sounds like your LO is getting more practice than you think since she's on your chest too. GL!

    The other tip I read on here which helped me was to put LO on their belly for a couple minutes on their changing pad at each diaper change. I didn't do it every time, but I started doing this with DD and she did really well with it.
