I put my 11 week old ds on his tummy every day, but he generally hates it. He'll lie there looking around for a minute or two, suck his fist, then start screaming! He shows no signs of lifting up his neck, he just lies flat and yells!
I was just wondering how long do you think is a good length of time for a baby to be on his tummy during the day (5 minutes? half an hour?) Should I persist with it if he really hates it that much? And should I be worried about his inability to lift his head up from that position? (He has good head control when he's upright).
Sorry, overanxious new mum here! Thanks in advance for any tips.
