Belly time advice?

Question

So I read online you can start belly time for baby straight away after birth for 1-2 minutes per day. My daughter is 2 weeks old could I start her on belly time or is it too soon? In a first time mum

Answer

i started when my daughter was 4 days old. she’s strong so she held her head up and looked. so it’s up to you. if you feel like your baby can do it then go for it

Answer

We started from birth,  but he was a strong / stubborn baby from birth

Answer

I mean, you can, but she’s just gonna lay there like a lump.

Answer

I would just lean back on the couch and let my son have belly time on me. He would usually wiggle for a bit and then fall asleep. Just go with your gut, you could try belly time and if it doesnt go well, leave it for another week or two.

Answer

Tummy time for young babies can be done chest to chest.  She will lift her head to see your face. As she gets bigger you can transition her belly to your lap across your thighs and then she can do yummy time on the floor or a prop like a boppy and then when she’s older she can do airplane in your feet while you hold her hands ( that’s when she’s much older 😉 )

Answer

You can! Mine HATED it until he could roll over around 4 1/2 months and still wasn’t a total fan until he could start moving/crawling

Answer

It's good to start them early ! Even if they can't lift their head up all the way, them just attempting and moving their head around is strengthening their muscles.
