    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.

    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.

      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!

    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!

    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

    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!

    • @Crustenscharbap
      @Crustenscharbap 3 роки тому

      ​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.

    Even my son’s physical therapist who is suppose to be treating his Torticollis hasn’t helped us with tummy time nor made suggestions my son is 7 months old and was a nicu baby and didn’t go to his tummy until almost 3 months he hated it and to this day still does but now he can roll over when he’s put on it and lack of strength in his stomach and back muscles makes him hate sitting up for extended time therefore teaching him to sit up is hard because he arches his back and wants to lay down he doesn’t have any issues other than the issues that come with Torticollis he’s just stubborn any advice (with him being 7 month old)on keeping him on his belly and to keep him from rolling would be so appreciated also advice on the sitting up anything I can do to help him love your videos very informative!

    do you have any tummy time tips for older babies that hate tummy time? my son is 6 months old and hates tummy time unless it's chest to chest or over his boppy pillow, if I put him down in the floor or the bed he'll only tolerate it for about 15 months tops, he also only rolls from his tummy to his back in that short time frame, but only once or twice. I'm not really sure how to work with him to last a bit longer or to start rolling more, but I practice rolling with him for as long as he can stand to be on his tummy

    The best tip to kick off tummy time and breastfeeding the right way is to allow the newborn to do the breast crawl to latch the first time.
    Activates the neck muscles and they latch correctly.
    Hardest part is not helping more than they actually need!

    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
      @EmmaHubbard  3 роки тому +5

      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.

      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.

    I have tried all these tricks with my now 7 month old from very early on up through now and he still absolutely hates tummy time. He lasts maybe 2 minutes on his tummy til he screams and maybe 5 minutes on his back. He only likes playing on the floor if he's sitting upright. I tried laying him on his belly on my stomach today but he knows it's a trick.

      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).

    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.

    Question, when do you do tummy time?? When Henry first wakes up he demands a feed and then by the time he’s not at risk of puking it’s almost time for bed again! Any support we put under he chest causes him to puke too. He’s almost 4 months old and we are only getting about 10 mins of tummy time a day as he just hates it, he doesn’t support himself with his elbows and has his arms out to the side like an areoplane

Especially when his preschool teacher always compare him with his classmate who is walking at 12 month. Thank you for the tips, gonna try this on him.

    My baby will be four months old Nov 19 and can not lift her head on her tummy. I work on segmental rolling which she tolerates but trying to tuck her elbows under makes her angry.
    Recently the eye doctor said her retinas did not fully develop and her iris is smaller than normal. So vision is compromised. Is it too soon to get a referral for physical therapy?

    I’m a lil frustrated I started giving my son tummy time a little round three months because he has acid reflex really bad. Which causes him to have a lil loss in his weight. However, he does it for about a Good 2 minutes max than rolls over. Every single time even when I distract him he gets so excited and still rolls over lol. Whewww tummy time is a a lot of patience (smile)

      Hi Asnaz are you able to describe this in more detail? When she is lying on her back is she keeping her head in the middle of her body or is her head falling to the side? Is she reaching out and grabbing toys when she is lying on her back. Do you mean that she is not yet rolling from her back to her side into side lying? Or when she is on her tummy she is not moving her body to the side (so straightening her arms and lifting her body and moving to the side)? When she is in tummy time can she lift her head or her head and her chest or does she straighten her arms and lift head, chest and trunk?

    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.

    My son is 3 months (14 weeks) and he hates tummy time. He cries a lot after 5 minutes, is we even reach that time… many times it’s less. I’ve tried the rolled towel, a ball, football hold. He’s pretty strong with his neck because I hold him up when carrying him and he can hold his head with minimal support. Any other ways to help the baby like tummy time? We actually started OT but it’s only once a week.
