DD was lifting her head at 2 weeks and moving it around quite the thing. HV recommended tummy time soon after.
Over the past 3 weeks or so we've had so much going on that DD hasn't really had tummy time other than the time on our chests while she sleeps.
We've been trying tummy time again the past few days and she HATES it and isn't lifting her head much at all, she kicks like crazy until she is forward enough to put her head on the mat... And the crying - it's enough to wake the neighbors at the end of the street.
Noticed that when we sit her up she will keep her head straight for a few seconds then tilts it to her right shoulder. Occasionally it'll roll forward so her chins on her chest then pulls it back up to the right shoulder.
Have we put her development back by missing tummy time?
I'm going to mention it to the HV on Monday but in the mean time is there any tummy time games we could try? (I've tried having her on my shins, she doesn't like it)
