Anyone else experience this with tummy time??

Question

So my son is 16 weeks old and still HATES tummy time. He can push himself up sometimes but often instead of bending his little arms he’ll straighten one or both of them and then they end up swimming behind him when he pushes. Does anyone else’s baby do that?? If so, what can I do to keep him from doing that?

Answer

My first gated tummy time so I hardly ever did it and I was so worried but he was sitting at 5 months and crawled and walked right on time! So try not to worry too much, it will all work out!

Answer

My son does the exact same thing especially with his arms. He gets so mad that he’ll just put his face in the mat and scream. His pediatrician says he’s doing fine and we don’t really need to worry about tummy time anymore. He can almost sit up on his own and his head control is perfect so no worries.

Answer

My little guy isn’t a big fan. We asked out pediatrician about all the tummy time milestones and he said not to worry too much. Babies will eventually reach all those milestones when they’re ready! So we just try doing all sorts of tummy things.... like tummy time on a mat, laying on our chests, laying on our shins.

Answer

My son does a similar thing. He’s also sixteen weeks and not a huge fan of tummy time. So instead I baby wear him most of the day and when we play I’ll lie in my back and place him on my shins so he can “fly”. He loves it! What’s funny though is when I do still put him down on his belly, that motion with his arms has almost become an army crawl action! He still really hates it so I don’t push it. Maybe our babes will just forgo all the rolling and go straight to crawling and walking! 😆

Answer

my 3 month old baby girl HATES yummy time as well. I don't want her to ne behind, but she just screams when I  try it
