Tummy time

My little girl is 6 weeks, i’ve been trying to do tummy time but she doesn’t really lift her head, just kicks her legs. She lifts her head when she is on my chest though. Am I doing it right?

Try putting her arms on the pillow too which will help her lift her head up.

Just an example from Google 🙂

Mine is 6 weeks as well and is exactly the same 🙄

She’s only tiny and her head is so heavy in comparison to the rest of her body! She will get there in time, keep practicing every day for a few minutes. The baby above is a few months older and not a newborn!

Same here! My first little one was great and always lifting her head, but second child does exactly this or squirms his way down off the cushion! Xx

My 5 week old is pro at lifting his head right up to stare into my face when he's on my chest but absolutely hates being on the floor😆 he barely has any strength in comparison when he's on the floor and he can hardly lift himself, or if he does it's for mere seconds before he flops back down again. But they'll get there in time with practice☺️x
