My little one is 3 months and absolutely hates tummy time! Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can help her enjoy it?

Have you tried the tinfoil hack?

Noo I haven’t?

It’s hard work for them so as soon as they’re crying roll them out of it. Don’t just place on tummy, roll them into it so it’s not a sudden change to tummy. I found doing a bit of side play first and after helped.

thank you Amy!!

I don’t do tummy time for my baby, I forget to do it. And he holds his neck up
Well on his own

You can put your baby on your chest.

I second this! We call it mummy tummy time 😆 We go tummy to tummy and she happily raises her head for lovely long stretches of time. Not so much on her mat 😅

apparently laying tinfoil down in front of them just mesmerises them. I’ve seen LOADS of tik toks saving it’s been a life saver for them because their baby doesn’t like tummy time usually.
You scrunch it up a little so that it warps light and colours a bit then lay it out

il try! Thanks so much
