Tummy Time

[MarchPumpkin]

Hi.
When is the best time to start and put our LO's on their tummy? We have tried it with Amelia a few times but she isn't lifting her head yet? X

We did it for short periods every week to see how he was doing, he hated it mostly but has started doing it in the last few weeks!! Try doing it on your chest as most babies seem to prefer it!!

We started pretty early. I say it's never too early wss ^ about the chest

Try to do it a few times every day. Your lo will get used to it and get stronger. I incorporate a few minutes of tummy time in every play time. I get down on my tummy with my face infront of K with some toys or books so there is something that dhe wants to look at.

ive been doing it with Alyssa quite sporadically cos she gets annoyed but i tried to remember to do it since 4 weeks. she can hold her head up really well but she always had a strong neck from birth. it does count when you do it on your chest like the ladies said

We tried to put ethan on his front everyday from about 4 weeks. Made sure it was at least half an hour after feeds and that he wasn't tired. He only lasted about 30seconds to a minute at first but improved really quickly! ^ good idea to put them on ur chest too and give something interesting to look at so they have something to hold head up for!
