3 month baby won't do tummy time anymore

As the title says... she's always hated it so we could do only a few mins at a time. But now she's figured out how to roll-over (sort of, she just shifts weight to one side and pretty much falls on that side) she won't do it at all.
As soon as i put her on her belly, she rolls to one side. She doesn't have full contol of her head yet so i figure it's too soon to stop tummy time. What do I do, any ideas?

TIA!

Sorry you are worried, please don't! Holding your little one around upright for some baby play time/fun time, or even just using a sling (the right way i.e. baby facing you) will strengthen their head and core in the same way as "tummy time". I promise my mum did not do any dedicated tummy time neither did her mum and we are all here.
Unless your baby has an underlying health issue, just encouraging her to play on the floor is plenty enough! No matter in what position.
