[@ogagadios]

Thank you for your video, first time Dad here. I never knew tummy time was important luckily my boy is only 15wks old so we started tummy time today. He managed to stay for 4 mins at first attempt, we would rest and continue when he wakes up.

[@Fire-Rabbit87]

Thank you so much for making this video! I have been struggling with my son with tummy time for 4 months. Before I watched this video, I could only get him to do tummy time for 5 minutes maximum before he would start screaming. After watching this video, I started doing chest-to-chest with him and some of the other methods, and now he actually enjoys tummy time and will tolerate it for 20 minutes or more! Thank you so much!

[@mrst5963]

Thank you everyone for commenting! In similar tummy time videos a lot of the comments were about how their child enjoyed it. My daughter is 5.5 months and hated tummy time, she still hates it but can tolerate it for 2-3 minutes. I always felt like a failure because of her lack of interest in it, but now seeing everyone's comments I feel less alone. Sometimes as a parent we can feel isolate but we mustn't forget that our children are individuals too. They have likes and dislikes just like us.

[@SparkleandPop]

my 4.5 month old gets abut 5 minutes max, he HATESSSS it hahaha. It doesn't seem to matter how much I do to distract him he's like NOPE. He will hold his head really well for a few minutes and then he just lies like sack of potatoes! He loves being held in a sitting position and has no issues holding his head then, but tummy? No chance!

[@e.k.8835]

I love Emma's videos. We are still working on Tummy Time but I mix up the different types of TT like the football hold and laying back with her on my chest. Her torticollis cleared up and she can get her shoulders off the floor. Literally baby steps. Keep at it fam, don't feel defeated.

[@dhamiraaziz2413]

How was your baby before with the torticollis. Mine has it too. But now have now problem with rotating and tilting his head after lots of stretches. But somehow he hates tummy time idk if his shoulder is uncomfortable or something. Does torticollis affect tummytime

[@ratnavathiparimi9383]

Thanks for the best vedio on tummy time,my grand daughter is 6 months old and hates tummy time,we will definitely try ur tips.she is also having flat behind head,can u suggest some tips for making it round.

[@Crustenscharbap]

​My advice: If She is 6 months old and she struggles to lift her head go to the doctor. He has better knowledge. If you wait longer the treatment becomes harder. A Baby should lift his head by 2-3 months and after 4 months it should be easy for a baby. Tummy time is very important for its core musces. These muscles are important for turning, uplifting ,sitting, crawling and walking. To remove the flat head do a lot tummy time. So she is not lying on her head anymore. Also try to turn her sleeping cot. Most babies look to the windows when they are in the bed. If your baby is still sleeping on the same side there might some bones stuck. A doctor will fix that fast.

[@theresaferreira2120]

You’re showing these examples with babies who have some head control already so obviously they’re going to enjoy it and be better at it. Do you have any tips for babies who are not at this stage yet?

Tips to keep baby in tummy time when they have learnt to roll from tummy to back? My first son once he learned to roll would constantly roll out of tummy time and play on his back until I put him back on his tummy, however he also rolled back to tummy before tummy to back. My second son has started rolling out of tummy time at 2 months old and he clearly needs more tummy time for his age. Any tips to keep him on his tummy other than constantly rolling him back which just makes him mad would be great

[@juliakbrown]

Hi Emma, thank you so much for all your great content, I've found it super useful! My daughter is 6 months old and can roll from tummy to back, which has basically meant the end of tummy time on the floor because the minute I put her in that position, she rolls out of it (she's always disliked it, but now she can rescue herself!). She has great head and neck control and is beginning to sit independently, but I know from your other videos that tummy time is still important for continuing to strengthen her muscles and helping her learn to crawl. Would you still suggest these modified tummy time positions (eg in the boppy, where she can't roll over to get herself out of it)? Or are these more for younger babies? Thanks again!

Hi @Amy Horton and @Lyric Voelle sounds like your little ones really don't like tummy time. If they are starting to sit up you can work on strengthening their arms and shoulders by placing their toys slightly out of reach (so they have to reach out and put weight through their arms).

Until what age do babies need tummy time? Would u say it is the basic exercise for baby the tummy time and from there other skills r mastered?! Thanks

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi @Pri USA yep tummy time is the core activities babies do to work on strengthening the muscles required for rolling, crawling and sitting. I would recommend you continue tummy time until your baby can get around by crawling (whatever method they use). Even once your baby learns to sit up they should still have time in tummy time. If you just put your baby in sitting in the floor then your little one might get stuck in sitting as he/she is unable to more out of sitting onto the floor for crawling, rolling or tummy time.

Hi Emma. My baby is currently 3 mo and always licking the mat during tummy time instead of trying to lift her head. Is this okay? And how to make her stop licking anything under her head?

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi Fayruz is she licking the ground because she is hungry or is it happening even when she isn’t hungry? You could try placing a rolled up towel under her chest or getting her to do tummy time when lying on a nursing pillow. This will raise her upper body and head which will make it hard to lick things. She might also be trying to explore toys and objects. Babies explore items and toys using their mouth at first because they don’t have the skills to manipulate the toys with their hands.

Did you find a solution? When did he start to love tummy time?

[@ChiiPooky]

My baby is 3 months old about to be 4 months in 2 weeks and she's barely learning to keep her head up. She refused to do tummy time. Plus since I'm just renting a really small room, I have just a bed for her to practice on. I have been trying these techniques, but I feel it's my fault she's behind on this milestone. She holds her head up but then spreads her arms and then places herself in Superman position. I hope I didn't put my baby behind because of this. I also suffer from an injury caused by the c-section which exhausts me to move around.

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi @Chii V I would try not to worry. I am sure your little one will continue to get stronger in the tummy time position with short bursts of tummy time throughout the day. Also some time between 3 - 5 months of age babies start displaying the Landau reflex when they are lying on their tummy. This is when they lift their arms and legs off the ground as soon as they are on their tummy and lift their head. This is a normal reflex which is important for postural development. It sounds like this might be the reason she is doing the "superman position". Hope that helps!

[@rachaelkumarasena678]

Hi. My little man is 18 weeks old and he hates tummy time most of the time. I’m lucky to get maybe 30 seconds of “happy tummy time” out of al the times I try throughout the day. I try to do it for 5 minutes each time as he just screams and gets stressed. I have tried all these techniques including mirrors, toys, support towel/pillow, etc. he sometimes rolls into his back but usually when we try tummy time on the bed instead of his floor play area. He also doesn’t like “floor play time” or being in the bouncer. Hi have to hold him all the time as when I do put him down he screams and cries. I feel like I’m doing it all wrong. I try not to always pick him up but it’s very hard. What should I do? Any support is greatly appreciated.

My little boy is 10 months old and still hates it, we’ve tried everything at this point multiple times. Hopefully it doesn’t hamper his development too much.

How often or is it okey if every day have a tummy time? 1month baby

[@tylerzhou1350]

from when should start this? 1st week?

[@sunnyneonraye1459]

My son used to love tummy time, but after he was being pushed into tummy time in pt he decided he hated it. But if he roll into it himself he likes it for a few moments, then realizes he hates it. He'll do tummy time on other surfaces, like the couch, or even on a bag of mulch once. Any other recommendations for a change of surface? I'm going to try using a ball He can fet out of sitting but not into it.

Would this help with building head/neck coordination? My baby is 5 months old, and she keeps putting her head all the way back.
