tummy time breakthrough?

Question

Hi all, my LO is struggling with tummy time. He's making a ton of progress tho so maybe I'm just being impatient. He was a preemie so got a late start. I've read a ton of info on tummy time, tricks, tips etc. just curious to hear some tummy time success stories for motivation! Did your LO struggle? What was the breakthrough moment/strategy? TIA!

Answer

My daughter is not a fan of tummy time. Usually I'll try to catch her right after a nap and a nursing session when she's in a good mood.. usually only lasts for a little bit and I won't ever push it. Sometimes I'll also have her lay on my chest while I'm laying flat on my couch this way she's not as frustrated.. plus that way my face is right there and she can look at me when she picks her head up.

Answer

My son hated tummy time and honestly I never did I with him(not saying you shouldn't do it you do what you feel is right for your child). I did t force it or anything every now and again I'd lay in the floor with him and we'd play but I didn't make sure it was a definite thing that I did. He has always had prettt good head control since birth surprisingly and he started rolling at about 5 months. He is now 7 months and crawling. I found that things that made noise or sang songs got him moving and caught his attention.
