    My baby hated tummy time but we were consistent and within a few weeks she loved it. I believe thanks to all of that tummy time she learned to crawl so fast. By 5 months she was army crawling and regular crawling by 6 months. She is now 9 months and cruising using the furniture... really waiting for those first independent steps.. ❤

    I am 74 yrs old!! But as an infant i almost didn't make to the age of 74!! My mother put me on my back in the bassinet!! Well, if it wasn't for my grandmother who noticed i was choking...i ended up choking on a wad of phlegm!!! I grew up hearing that story many times! When i had my babies... thankfully in good health!! I either placed them on their sides but mostly on their tummies!! I was afraid of that they might choke on phlegm or vomit during the night!! So they slept on their sides or tummies!! They never had a problem or issue in either of those positions!!

      @@nycgirlteethe baby should always be on their back to sleep. Side or tummy sleeping is not safe. I have a three month old and I cannot express to you how much the hospital drilled this into us. Including making us watch clips of mothers who lost their babies by letting them sleep in these ways, or in the parents bed.

      ​@polytoxed ....But how about choking on the back? They forgot that part, as they focused on the back to sleep due to SIDS. I choked as an infant, on my back. My recommendations: Monitor your baby in any position and use baby monitors/cameras.

      No babies should never sleep on their tummy-the can suffocate themselves at night. Lay him on his back and roll two small blankets up, put them on either side of him and they should prevent him from rolling in the night, he’ll get used to sleeping on his back and then you won’t have any issues but never let him sleep on his tummy, back is always safest ❤

      @@SzimicardsWhen babies frequently died in infancy and early childhood. It’s a big mistake to think that because something never affected you personally that it’s invalid and that the way you think it’s always been done must mean it’s right, or because you didn’t do it it has to be wrong otherwise you were. Can’t have that. Parenting evolves.
