How often and for how long do you guys do tummy time with your babies? I feel I don’t do it as often with my 4 month old girl because she hates it so much, but she loves sitting on my lap looking around everywhere and on a little seat I have for her.
I just feel so bad as a mother because I’m not doing it enough with her. 😕

I barely do tummy time because she hates it so much. I felt guilty but then my mom told me that she didn’t do any tummy time with me or my sisters. She said time will teach them everything. So I just go with the flow now. I know it’s bad 😩😩😩

My girl is 3.5 months and she also hates it, a bit less now once she learned to suck on her thumb/hand while at it 😅 and yet we do it every day 2-3 times for about 10-15 mins at a time, bringing all the songs, toys, bells and whistles for the moral support. I cannot wait for her to learn to roll over and be done with it, but not quite yet 🙈

I was doing it once in the morning and once at night but now anytime he is awake we started just turning him over for 5-10 min at a time doing different activities. After the time is up we turn him on his back and let him play in the baby gym. We are starting to “try” the sitting up after he feeds but we work from home and these activities take up quite a bit of attention awake from work. So we are attempting to add this when we get off the computers

My baby has great neck strength but no rolling yet so we’re focusing on a solid 15 minutes a day until she rolls.

We get it in daily if at all possible. On a good day we can get at least 10 to 15 minutes , a bad day 5-10 . He starts strong, he doesn't always like as the time goes on, but he usually starts strong ☺️

5-10-15 minutes is wild! My girl literally has lasted the most 4 minutes just once. It’s usually 1-2 minutes before she starts screaming😩 I’m trying to push her into lasting longer but it’s hard
