Why does my 5 month old baby hate tummy time so much ☹️ is there anything I can do tomorrow help him

Question

Answer

Looks like he’s enjoying it to me

Answer

I'm a infant room daycare teacher and I can say it's pretty common, a lot of kids don't like tummy time and some crawl just fine with limited tummy time, just make it fun for them, get toys and books and sit with them, maybe even get on your tummy too,

Answer

My daughter is not one for tummy time either. Patience is key here, and continuing to do little bits of it each day without forcing it too much. Eventually they crawl and you miss it when they didn't lol

Answer

Our son would only last a minute or so before getting cranky. then one day he got it and there was not stopping him rolling over. be patient. do a bit everyday but don't force it. it will come

Answer

My daughter hated it too, putting her in front of a mirror helped tremendously!

Answer

It helps to let them prop on a boppy . That way they can look around and see what's going on. Put it so there arms are hanging over the edge and the boppy is under their chest. Also a mirror on the floor so baby can look at himself (whether it's a mirror propped against something in front of baby, or laying flat on floor so baby can look down at it). Hope this helps

Answer

My son HATED tummy time. Like would cry to the point he'd almost make himself sick. My solution was like baby pull-ups lol. I'd hold his little hands (well, he'd hold my thumbs and I'd wrap my fingers around his hands) while he was on my lap and he'd pull himself up towards our hands. Worked well for us.

Answer

I’m having the same issue with my 3mo daughter.. did you find a solution? Or did anything help?

Answer

I have the same issue, keep going at it. my 7 month old still hates tummy time but he seems to be getting better even though he cries alot of the time we have him down on his tummy. He still refuses to try and roll over however due to his dislike of this position. Try to distract him with yourself and toys while on his tummy. Even if just for a few minutes it is good for their muscles
