Tummy time 6x20mins a day!?

Question

Baby is 2 months. Pediatrician says tummy time 6x a day for 15-20mins each time!? She said to just let her do it and scream, start with less time and work up to 15-20mins a time. This sounds kind of extreme to me. So far we were only doing 1-2x a day for like 3mins. I guess I just need to push her harder?

Answer

That seems intense to me. I was told to do 2-3mins or until she screams (whatever comes first) a few times a day.

It's hard for them to do. Imagine doing squats or lunges without stopping and when you scream you aren't allowed to stop until someone comes to your aid

Answer

We were told 60 minutes a day by 2 months in whatever increments to get to that number. Mine didn't tolerate it well so we did it many times a day in small increments. Try on your chest at an inclines or on your chest. Mine also liked having a towel (or boppy) under her chest to help.

Answer

It took us a while but we are up to 7-10 minutes 3-5 times a day (it all depends on him) my doctor said he needs hours a day because his left side of his head was starting to get flattened out😣 really just do whatever feels natural for you and your little one. The doctor doesn't HAVE to know how long you do it for. As long as your little ones head is staying pretty rounded and they are reaching their milestones it shouldn't matter. All babies are different!

Answer

Have your baby do tummy time on your chest! Makes it much easier and a happier time for all
