Tummy Time

[MummytoaprincessXo]

My 6 1/2 month old corrected (she’s premature) daughter HATES tummy time with a passion. I have no idea why! So I need some tips on how I can get her to enjoy it!

We’ve tried putting her on her tummy and placing toys in front of her, trying to play with her, stroking her back whilst she’s on her tummy, showing her her fave tv programmes, making sure it’s nice and comfy for her, propping her up with a cushion, encouraging her by clapping ... but literally she’ll be on her stomach for a minute and roll over onto her back.

Any tips or tricks would be amazing as we’re really stuck now!

No idea sorry as both of mine hated it too.

Hopefully someone will be along soon

Thank you.

Did they crawl at ‘expected’ development age? I’m worried if she won’t go on her front she’ll crawl a lot later on!

I can understand why they hate it - who likes lying on their stomach haha😂

DD did but FS was a little late at crawling. He was cruising the furniture quite successfully at 9 months though and walked at 12 months.

@JiltedJohnsJulie. Reassuring to know - thank you

They're both at High school and play sport for the school. I really wouldn't worry
