how many times should I do tummy time?

Question

My baby is 13 weeks and doesn't even try to lift his head up when we doing tummy time. He just lays on his stomach. Is his head to weak to be lift up or is he just too lazy? I don't know what's going on. Maybe we don't do it often??

Answer

If you have an exercise ball, out him on there for tummy time (obviously you have to hold him on there so he doesn't fall.) the curve of the ball will force him to work his head up. 
I do tummy time about three to four times a day.

Answer

My 14 week baby doesn't either! She screams if she's on her tummy! But she holds it up amazingly when she's sitting!

Answer

Try using a small prop under baby's chest to help give a boost. Do small increments of 2-5 minutes four to five times per day, gradually building up the time spent per session. Baby will get there!

Answer

My boy is the same, no matter how hard I try or how many times a day I put him on his stomach he just lays there! If I sit him up he holds his head up.
