I’m a first time mum to a 16 week old DD. I’ve hardly done any tummy time with her and am a bit concerned that it may have affected her development.
I read that by 16 weeks, babies should be able to prop themselves up on their arms whilst on their tummy and have a look around.
I’ve been doing some tummy time with DD over the past few days and she is nowhere near that - her arm muscles seem very weak and she’s not pushing herself up off the floor at all. She just lies there, moving her legs and getting more and more distressed.
Have I affected her development by not starting tummy time sooner and is there anything I can do to help her progress?
