Thanku so much! My daughter is 5 months old on the 10th and I have done the best I can with tummy time but she HATED it. She would start screaming and crying. I was told to put her on her tummy on the floor and thats it. I just put her on my nursing pillow and she is happy!! I could literally cry I've been so disappointed in myself for not being able to find a way for her to enjoy tummy time. Thanku thanku thanku
Hi @kelsey Marie I am so glad you found a tummy time position she likes. Sounds like a very hard 5 months with tummy time. Hopefully it just keeps getting better now as she gets stronger and more confident in this position.
I have a 16 week old and same here. He’s ok some days and then other days he just gives up. He’s ok with sitting up and moves his head around easily but being on his stomach just sucks for him! Any update on your baby? I know this was a long time ago!
My 1st baby is now 2 months old, and i am a first time mother and this will be the first time that i will try this tummy time method to him. Thank you!
Incredibly grateful for your videos, and at the same time, incredibly mad at the medical personnel that followed me throughout my pregnancy and labor for never ever even mentioned those things to me
My recovery was rough on me so I couldn’t stand or walk around holding my baby, so I incidentally would do tummy time on my chest with her everyday. I was completely unaware we were even doing tummy time officially until now, she’s two months old today! She has strong neck and leg muscles now! She’s a champ with traditional tummy time before of it.
Thank you for the info. But it would be greater if you instruct newbie moms how to shift from the cradling position to those tummy time positions. I am still kinda clumsy on how to hold the baby.
Thank you very much! We have a 2 month old baby who is having difficulty lifting his head and strengthening his muscles. In a few weeks we will go back to the doctor to see how he is and these 5 positions were very useful!
You’re amazing!! I love your channel and the tone you take with all your excellent advice. It’s honestly so encouraging for new parents, thank you so much.
Thanks for the helpful video! I have a 6 week old and his favorite tummy time position is on my chest. Is it ok to just continually do one position for this or do different positions strengthen different neck and back muscles?
My son is 17 weeks old and he has a flat head. My pediatrician said i need more tummy time but he hates it. Do still do these exercises or something else. I appreciate your video ❤️❤️
I have a 5 week old and I’ve been doing chest to chest. I’m not sure if this is normal but she’s always been able to lift her head right from birth and seems to be quite a strong baby. I downloaded the milestone checklist and she already ticks all the boxes of 0-3 months. I might graduate her to floor time soon and see how she goes :)
This is very helpful. I had been putting my baby straight onto a blanket as I didn’t realise we should start of slowly. I did some tummy time in chest this morning using the hand positions you mentioned and he is able to lift his head and turn it side to side so I am very happy.
Hi mam, you are just inspiring. Just guide to improve the production of mother feed if less amount of quantity is available which is not enough for baby. shall be grateful
Ive just had my first baby. She is 5 days old, we were told yo chuck her straight onto her stomach and she would scream and cry, we thought that was what was suppose to happen. But will definitely try these
These are great tummy time positions, I wished I knew these positions when my baby was a newborn and a little older. He is now 9 1/2 months old but I can still use some of the tips you’ve mentioned to help strengthen his neck because his rolling needs help and he isn’t crawling.
Hi Emma, thank you for the 5 things we should know about tummy time and this positions video. It is super helpful. My little one 3.5 mos does not like to put weight on her arms at all! She cries when I support her elbows under the shoulder, and mostly falls into “swimming in the air” position! How can we tackle this?
Great video! Is there anything we should do diffrently for tummy time with babies who have umbilical hernias? I was instructed not to let her sleep on her tummy because fo this, but is tummy time okay because it is for a shorter while?
Hi ma’am, i have been following your videos. I am from India. I am a mum of 6months old boy. He was born with reflux issue so we couldnt do much of tummy time with him as he would vomit instantly. Hence his neck & shoulders muscles are not that strong yet & he is unable to hold his neck steady, also unable to lift himself up to sit. Please guide what can we do to accelerate his muscle strength.
Im really struggling to fit an hour of tummy time in a day. My boy is 4 months old, he cries after about 5 minutes of tummy time but has a strong neck and core. I always mean to di several sessions a day but hes either just been fed, sleepy and tired or asleep! Think he has about 5 hours of naps in the day time. How long after feeding do you need to leave before timmy time? Im really struggling as a new mum and feel like im getting it all wrong 💕
I’d love to know how to wake up your newborn (and KEEP them awake) for long enough to do something like tummy time!! Hell, we find it hard enough keeping him awake long enough for a full feed!
Emma help! My baby just recently turned 3 months and we have been doing tummy time as much as we can.lately he spreads his arms out during tummy time instead of close to his body which makes his face flat on the ground. I did see him trying to move his whole body forward as if he is crawling.is this normal? He has good neck control when he’s up.
My baby is almost 7 months old, doesn't like tummy time so I didn't really push it, she can roll over both ways but just doesn't do it because she doesn't like being on her tummy, what could be the reason she doesn like it?
Nope 🙂. Our little one is 4 months old and spends most of her time on her tummy. She's happiest in that position so I let her stay there as long as she's content
How Soon can I start this? He is 3 days old. I’m good at burping, farting, swaddling, diapers. Is side sleeping ok? What’s the best sleep posture for a new born? What about his cord? Do you hold there face or let them face plant and practice picking it up? Again 3 days old. Anyone any pointers?
It's great that she likes the chest to chest tummy time. Hopefully after watching this video there are some other tummy time positions you can try with your little one.

Glad it was helpful!

😊😊😊😊
You are not alone, I feel very uncomfortable doing it too.
Yes please
this is literally lifesaving, my ob and pediatrician never said ANY OF THIS
Wow I wish this video was available 6 months ago! My baby hated tummy time. Now I know for the next one. Thank you!
Hopefully the your next little one finds tummy time a bit easier!
Another great video Emma.
I love that you acknowledge that some babies don’t like the traditional tummy time and that there are other options to try.
Thank you Emma, my 2 week old new born is now doing pushups
Thank you very much! We have a 2 month old baby who is having difficulty lifting his head and strengthening his muscles. In a few weeks we will go back to the doctor to see how he is and these 5 positions were very useful!

Thank you so much!!
Great videos as usual Emma. These tips are different from the first video. I love it. Thanks
New mom of a one month old and I feel like I have to binge watch all your videos!
Thanks so much! Our 7 week old does great on the exercise ball, and for some reason it also makes him go number 2
Lol - good info - he may appreciate knowing this when he’s older too! 😉
Until what age do babies need to do tummy time? Can you please do a video on W sitting and why is it bad as well as alternatives? Thanks!!
Love this! THANK YOU!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊

Glad to hear that
Great positions, especially the last one! Thanks for sharing it with us!
It’s my pleaure
This is very helpful. I had been putting my baby straight onto a blanket as I didn’t realise we should start of slowly.
I did some tummy time in chest this morning using the hand positions you mentioned and he is able to lift his head and turn it side to side so I am very happy.
That is so good! Keep going slowly and tummy time will be more pleasant for you both!
Made the one change in position and saw immediate results!
Thanks !
Thanks
No problem
It was very helpful. Thank you
So glad!
Hi mam, you are just inspiring. Just guide to improve the production of mother feed if less amount of quantity is available which is not enough for baby. shall be grateful
Thank you
Ive just had my first baby. She is 5 days old, we were told yo chuck her straight onto her stomach and she would scream and cry, we thought that was what was suppose to happen. But will definitely try these
Congratulations on the arrival of your little one. I hope these positions help!

Stay positive and keep on trying... I know how energy-consuming worrying is

Did you figure this out?
My baby girl hated it too but your tips have helped me so much ❤️
Great video!
Is there anything we should do diffrently for tummy time with babies who have umbilical hernias?
I was instructed not to let her sleep on her tummy because fo this, but is tummy time okay because it is for a shorter while?
Hi Emma. My baby is 6 months old now. I didn’t do much tummy time for him. Should I do these exercises for him now or something else must be done? TIA
Awesome video! And what about the laid back breastfeeding position? My daughter lifts her head and uses her hands a lot in the position as well haha
Great suggestion!
Great tips!!!
PS--- that baby with the blue onesie/pacifier is fricken adorable!
Could you use a wedge instead of a boppy pillow?
Am I the only parent that does tummy time with the kiddies on an actual bed? 😩
Hi Emma, how can I encourage my 5 1/2 month old to do tummy time? He seems to hate it so much, he rolls over within a minute or 2
Hi ma’am, i have been following your videos. I am from India. I am a mum of 6months old boy. He was born with reflux issue so we couldnt do much of tummy time with him as he would vomit instantly. Hence his neck & shoulders muscles are not that strong yet & he is unable to hold his neck steady, also unable to lift himself up to sit.

I've tried 4 tips except with gymball, but i've noticed from clinic and my mom, that the baby don't do tummy until her milestone
Im really struggling to fit an hour of tummy time in a day. My boy is 4 months old, he cries after about 5 minutes of tummy time but has a strong neck and core. I always mean to di several sessions a day but hes either just been fed, sleepy and tired or asleep! Think he has about 5 hours of naps in the day time. How long after feeding do you need to leave before timmy time? Im really struggling as a new mum and feel like im getting it all wrong 💕
Mam can u help me.....my baby fears a lot .....of sound from every thing...he is 6month old.....plz help🙏
I’d love to know how to wake up your newborn (and KEEP them awake) for long enough to do something like tummy time!! Hell, we find it hard enough keeping him awake long enough for a full feed!
😂in the early weeks it is hard to fit it in but in a few weeks time he will stay awake for longer between naps and you will be able to fit it in then.
How long should babies have tummy time for?
Emma help! My baby just recently turned 3 months and we have been doing tummy time as much as we can.lately he spreads his arms out during tummy time instead of close to his body which makes his face flat on the ground. I did see him trying to move his whole body forward as if he is crawling.is this normal? He has good neck control when he’s up.
My daughter is 5months 11 Days old..she doesn't turn back on her own and she hates to lie down on her tummy...pls suggest what to do
My baby is almost 7 months old, doesn't like tummy time so I didn't really push it, she can roll over both ways but just doesn't do it because she doesn't like being on her tummy, what could be the reason she doesn like it?
Can you do too much TT?
Nope 🙂. Our little one is 4 months old and spends most of her time on her tummy. She's happiest in that position so I let her stay there as long as she's content
@@EmmaHubbard Thank you :)
How
Soon can I start this? He is 3 days old. I’m good at burping, farting, swaddling, diapers.
Is side sleeping ok? What’s the best sleep posture for a new born? What about his cord? Do you hold there face or let them face plant and practice picking it up? Again 3 days old. Anyone any pointers?
I still to chest to Chest tummy time I love it but not as much know. She is 5 M
It's great that she likes the chest to chest tummy time. Hopefully after watching this video there are some other tummy time positions you can try with your little one.
We do enjoy each one but we like chest to chest at bedtime and in the morning.
My baby girl is 4 months now and she doesn’t like tummy time at all, I don’t know why?!!!!
My grandson is 4 months and he absolutely hates tummy time. He screams every time we put him on his tummy. 🤦♀️
Why we have to do tummy time
0:54
Mmmmmm
My little one cries if she's on her back. She only wants to be on her stomach while she's awake- so tummy time happens all day for us
That’s great!
Actually i gives 1..2..positions from this video without knowing about tummytime🤪
