My two month old is still struggling with tummy time. She has great head control, but when she is down for tummy time she wont lift her head or even move her arms and rolls to her side. Any advice?

We started out baby girl out doing tummy time in the Rahoo. It’s an incline so she won’t have to lay flat and it makes it easier at first so they can get stronger before transitioning to tummy time on the floor.

Try different tummy time positions. It doesn't have to be on the floor.

I feel that. My baby just likes to either sit up or stand with assistance

Mine gets mad sometimes, but he still will lift his head. Sometimes I just let him cry as long as he is lifting his head 🥲 I don’t like it but in the long run he needs his neck strength and I usually give him some milk after and he passes out, I think sometimes he’s just tired etc but if your baby isn’t actually lifting her head I’d try the assisted ways like the incline, rolled cloth under or different places like flat couch etc and talk to ped about it

we used the boppie for tummy time for a long time because baby girl preferred that

Mine are 3 months this week and still hate it 😫 they have amazing head control when I have them on my shoulder to burp/look around though

Have you tried doing inclined tummy time? That helped my LO a lot. We used a boppy but we also used a stuffed animal or you can used a rolled up towel or blanket.

Lay her on your chest. That’s tummy time too

We started out 1 min then 2 min intervals with a break in between. We do that several times a day to add up to 15 mins. My almost 3 month old is very strong, great neck strength, and also doesn’t completely hate tummy time now. Sometimes I get down with her and we always have toys and a mirror for her to look at.

We get plenty of tummy time by contact napping she’s always on my chest !

I have also tried to put her on my chest and have the same result.
