6 month old baby won't do tummy time

She can roll onto her belly but won't push up, she just lays there screaming.
When put in sitting position she just slumps forward.
Anyone else got a similar experience?

My baby was like this! I started putting him on his tummy for just a few seconds after every nappy change and slowly built up. Even a few seconds 6-7 times a day is something! Once he could tolerate it a little I’d try to distract him with a book but he’s never been the type to stay on his tummy for 20mins. He can roll both ways now so spends the day rolling back and forth and is much happier

Ahh that's nice to hear someone in the same boat. And how was your baby in sitting position at that age? Mine just completely slumps forward, even with support at the hips.
