I've not done as much tummy time as I should with my 4 month old as he has reflux and has always hated it. I've found a way to keep him happy during tummy time and he does about 5 minutes every wake period at the moment.
My question is, when placing him on the ground, should I just be putting him down with his arms beside him, to encourage him to bring them forward, or put him down and prop him up on his arms.
If I prop him up, he's quite content if I keep him entertained but if I don't prop him up he doesn't know how to bring his own arms forward to do so himself.
I'm worried that if I constantly do it for him, he won't learn how bring them forward, and when he does start rolling from back to front, he won't be able to get back over if he rolls in the middle of the night.
Hope that makes sense. I've spent ages looking online but can't find anything similar!
