anyone elses baby hate tummy time?

Question

My two month seriously loses it when i try to do tummy time so ive been trying other ways to get his muscles to strengthen.

Putting him on my chest at an angle so he has to push off to see

across my legs

getting him to sit up after being changed by light support of fingers under his arms.

Any other ideas? he can hold his head up for 15 secs steady while looking around or turning his head

Answer

My son (2 months) liked it at first but now he hates it. He will purposely squish his face into the floor and cry til I turn him over. So instead I'll lay down and put him on my chest and he likes that a lot more. He can hold his head completely on his own. He usually pushes with his feet to move up further and he'll sort of push off with his arms. It works so I count it as tummy time. I also put him on his side a lot under his little gym thing and he'll move his head around a lot.

My daughter hates it too. She just learned to roll from back to tummy and once she did she realized what happened and cried. I just put her on her tummy til she starts to cry. A lot of babies never had tummy time and are fine. My cousins sone never did it and he was walking at 9 months. Apparently my MIL Said my husband was the same way. Don't get discouraged.  As my mom put it, we didn't have tummy time when you were born and your perfectly fine.

My lil guy does but he's ok if we lay on our backs and have him do tummy time on our tummies lol

Answer

My daughter absolutely hates it! However she just started rolling over at two months old- probably because she wanted to get off her tummy! Maybe not such a bad thing? 😂

Answer

My daughter hates it too. But she is able to lift & turn her head on her own. A few minutes for her is fine. Anything longer than that she gets mad lol
