Crying with floor time?

Question

A lot of the time my daughter cries during floor time! I’m worried she’s going to struggle with hitting milestones like crawling because she never wants to be on her belly for very long!
Anyone else’s child like this? Or any advice?
She is able to sit on her own but just hates to be doing it for very long or she starts to cry.

Answer

My boy is the same, he isn’t a fan of it but when he starts to fuss I just start clapping taking a toy and making it jiggle, play peek a boo and I’ll do this a lot and he can last up to 15 mins now but I have to entertain him otherwise it’s 5 mins lol. Since we have been doing it soooo much more with him he finally learned how to roll

Answer

Mine hates lying on the floor but she does like to sit but I worry if I leave her she’ll fall over so I’ve bought this ring that she sits in and I give her a few toys and she’ll happily sit for a while. I was worried about her lack of crawling or attempting to but the past few days if she drops something out of the ring she’ll lean over and move onto her tummy and wriggle till she gets it which she never did before so I’m hoping she’ll get there! 🤞🏼

Answer

What do you have for her to do while she's on the floor? 
My LO spends most of his play time on the floor. I put him down on his back but he usually rolls right onto his belly. He's got two gyms, some teethers, and plenty of toys. I've got some song playlists I put on for him if he's getting fussy. Or I get down on the floor with him and sing or play with him. 
How long can she stay on the floor for before you have to pick her up? Could you try to extend this by a few minutes a day? Really pull out all the stops: dance, juggle, make funny noises, bang a wooden spoon on a pot, whatever you need to distract her from fussing.

Answer

My son HATED tummy time until he was 4.5 months. Now he tolerates it and is making progress with gross motor skills. 
I would talk to pediatrician. Probably normal, but maybe something like reflux is making baby uncomfortable?
