8 week old & tummy time

So we’ve been doing tummy time for a while now, and DS had gotten quite good at holding his head up for short periods. But these last few days. He’s just laid there, we’ve tried on a mat and a on me but it’s like he’s too comfortable to move? Lol. He has got good control sitting up on me etc but I’ve tried singing, toys. Everything to try encourage him to look/move but he’s just suddenly just not bothered and too comfy it seems? 😂

Hey. Have you tried propping up some black and white cards/pictures in front of him? I always found that if they had something interesting to look at, they were more likely to comply x

Ah bless, maybe he's just not feeling it the last couple of days.

Alternative ways to do tummy Time are to put baby on your chest and they look up to see you, and put them higher up like on the sofa and you on the floor so you can join in too (obviously supervised!)

Is he sleeping by any chance? Don't put him in tummy time if he's sleeping.

He still isn’t interested but better when on a tummy cushion but he is happy doing it over my shoulder. He just loves chewing his hands at the moment! His head control is great. But yes, he is definitely not sleeping haha.
