That’s exactly what my baby does. He’s 5 months & 3 weeks. I try to put musical toys in front of him & he seems to like it for 5 mins and wants back to his back.

A mirror in front of her, sometimes reading a book keeps her distracted. Recently I have tried putting her on a yoga ball and rolling her back and forth. She doesn’t seam to associate it with tummy time.
