Try it over your knees first or on your own tummySmile I normally get DS back over by either tucking an arm under him and gently rolling him over or sliding one hand down his back as I roll him onto his side. You'll get the hang of it, I know it can seem a bit daunting when they're very small!

Knees is good by the way as their face doesn't get smushed

Tummy time should really be called not-flat-on-the-back time. So sling carrying counts!

I wouldn't bother - it's just another fad to make you feel inadequate.

My dd is now 10. It just seemed like a natural thing to do especially as I got on the floor with her (head at her level) and sang or whatever. Why is it a fad?
