Tummy time
Hi girlies!! FTM here with a 2 month old. He has reflux getting treated by medicine 2x daily. He is so so so much better. For the time being that God relic was bad, I was using a nursing pillow for tummy time bc he was very uncomfortable laying flat. Now that he is undercook and getting so much better I want to try tummy time on his mat. He gets super mad still and won’t lift his head as good. His pediatrician said using the pillow is fine, but I feel being on a mat he can practice rolling ( when ready) and have some more control. Anyone in the same boat? I might purchase a smaller pillow to gradually get him completely flat. He goes for about 2-7 minutes at a time and loves it!
Thanks!!

Try doing chest to chest tummy time at an angle! This helps strengthen their neck so that when they go flat on a mat, it’s not as hard and they already have muscle strength. I did this for like 1-2 hours a day, broken up throughout the day for like 5-10 minute increments, and his neck strength got way better!
I’ll try that!
