Tummy time

My little boy is 7 weeks and still hates tummy time. I put him in it and he does lift his head up somewhat but just whinges the entire time and isn’t lifting his head up as much as I would like him to. Other times he just lays his head down and goes to sleep 🤦‍♀️ anyone else had this?

Also holding him so he's looking over his shoulder is a good one! My LG hated floor tummy time. I dod it maybe 5 times before realising that she hated it and was distressing her. Also holding her against my stomach and having her look out the window was a good one. She had good head control by 5.5 months and hit all her milestones. Don't worry too much about it. Someone once said to me... "have you ever seen an adult that can't hold their head up because they didn't do enough tummy time?" I've never forgot that! X

Thank you both! Everyone goes on about tummy time so much and it makes me feel paranoid that I’m not doing it enough lol… my mum said the other day that wasn’t even a thing when I was little and the last time I checked I can defo hold my head up 😭😂

My lo did the same thing. Just keep at it and eventually he'll come around. My lo puts his self on tummy time now. Lay him on your stomach as you lean back that also helped my lo like tummy time later down the road.

Mine hated tummy time when she was that little. I only ever did maybe 30 seconds max because she hated it. Then she learned to roll and she lived on her tummy

Yes! He loves being on my tummy and over my shoulder and sometimes I’ll put him on my knees too, I forget they count as tummy time too. I’ll just keep going at it. It’s weird Becuase he actually likes falling asleep on his tummy but he just doesn’t like it if he is wide awake and I intentionally put him in that position lol
