Oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-do-tummy-time#post-2226977 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:38:42 +0000 Mamasig 2226977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would continue to try, but wouldn't worry too much about it. She's already rolling which is great. My second son hated it too. I tried but didn't force it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-do-tummy-time#post-2226955 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 12:59:01 +0000 mediagirl 2226955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady grey: This is what we did a lot. She would just lay on my belly on her belly. Good enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-do-tummy-time#post-2226946 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 12:38:43 +0000 lady grey 2226946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could try having your baby do tummy time on you, lean back on the couch with baby on your belly. Kind of like this photo.</p> <p>Also, this site seems to have some good tips!<br /> <a href="http://www.tummytimetips.com/quick-tummy-time-tips/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tummytimetips.com/quick-tummy-time-tips/</a> </p> [attach=4871/15/nr0zoj.600x372.issue_19_tummy_time.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-do-tummy-time#post-2226940 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 12:08:44 +0000 ladybee 2226940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tummy time also strengthens the wrists which is important for fine motor skills. I'd try a mirror, laying baby on bed, couch, table. Even getting a few minutes at a time is beneficial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-do-tummy-time#post-2226935 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 11:44:38 +0000 sapphire 2226935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The importance of tummy time is to strengthen the neck muscles...if she can roll, they are already string! I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-do-tummy-time#post-2226933 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 11:34:26 +0000 Ginabean3 2226933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter hated tummy time....she would always cry and cry! Maybe try using a mirror on the mat? That seemed to engage my LO a little bit more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-do-tummy-time#post-2226930 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 11:30:51 +0000 autumn865 2226930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My five month old will not do tummy time. I roll her onto her tummy and she immediately rolls back. I have tried laying with her or providing toys but she just loves rolling back to her back! (She can roll both ways). Is this bad? </p>
