Baby struggling with holding head up still at 12 weeks

[Cocomandarin]

Hi!

so my girl is 12 weeks old and has always hated tummy time so I didn’t push it until I went to a baby group and saw 3 month olds sitting up really well and it’s worried me.

she can hold her head up in tummy time sometimes briefly but often flops it down. Has anyone experienced this? Shes doing everything else normally, kicking legs bringing hands to mouth etc.

she had some feeding issues early on and struggled to gain weight. I’m wondering if this has had an effect. When I sit her on my knee she holds head up and looks around but it still flops back

She's fine. Lot's of babies don't like tummy time, and it's a relatively new concept, I'd just do it on your chest, at that age it's just as good.

I don't think any 3 mo will be sitting up though tbh.

@MaJoady thank you. I mean they were holding them on their laps supported but they had their head upright unaided, my first did this at this age so just wondering 😕
