For the most part she was ok with it. But it definitely helped when I would lay on the floor with her. I also tried to do it right before a nursing session so if she would get really upset it would calm her down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045480 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 06:31:57 +0000 Adira 1045480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander has always hated tummy time. He'll tolerate it for a few minutes, but even now, at six months, he hates it. Probably because he's no good at rolling. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045469 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 06:23:52 +0000 kml636 1045469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, I hated doing it because the screaming would start immediately. Now at 9 months she still hates it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045464 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 05:58:28 +0000 MrsF 1045464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M hated it. I don't remember a time that she liked it and I was stressed about it. I kept up with it but I wasn't crazy about it. As age got stronger and older and could hold her head up better safe was much happier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045459 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 05:44:08 +0000 loveisstrange 1045459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C never tolerated it. It was pretty much an instant meltdown.</p> <p>Once she learned to roll, she was fine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045369 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:27:09 +0000 katsupgirl 1045369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wasnt a fan. I wouldn't push it. We had a tummy time song. I had small goals: 1 minute, then half the song, then the whole song then how many times we could go through the song. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045360 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:18:40 +0000 Purpledaisy 1045360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She HATED it until she was around 4-5 months. Once she could hold her head up better and look around she started liking it more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045321 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 22:01:56 +0000 dolphin 1045321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say closer to 3 months. She hated it in the beginning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045307 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:42:26 +0000 Sammyfab 1045307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! He despised it until he learned how to get into a sitting position from his tummy and then crawl at 8.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045305 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:41:06 +0000 swedishfish 1045305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R usually likes tummy time for a little while. There are times when she hates it though. I just try again later if she's not having it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045300 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:33:31 +0000 Boheme 1045300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He haaaaaaates it! The only thing I can do to make him tolerate it better is to lay on the floor next to him </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045288 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:29:06 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1045288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The turning point for us came when I did tummy time on the boppy. I'd put it on the bed and lay DD down on it while I folded laundry. I think having the little boost and being able to watch me really helped. I'd say at eight weeks she really started to enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045244 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:58:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 1045244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES - LO hated tummy time! he just wasn't into it until he could move around on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045161 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:27:32 +0000 Bookish 1045161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO does the exact same thing; she army crawls with her legs and gets pissed off that she can't go anywhere. She haaates tummy time. I only do it every other day right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045139 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:19:22 +0000 LazyLightning 1045139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hates it. She's 13 weeks. They say 10-20 min a day and it's torture!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045137 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:19:14 +0000 immabeetoo 1045137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: I didn't push it, if he started crying I flipped him. I usually tried to make it entertaining for him and there have been good blog posts about that. Of course once he figured out rolling on to his stomach on his own, that is all he did. Silly babies :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045136 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:19:03 +0000 doodlepoodle 1045136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J hated it forever. I honestly think his hatred for tummy time is why he's so mobile now....he had to get away? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045132 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:17:58 +0000 travelgirl1 1045132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She hated it at first but as soon as she was able to hold her head off the floor she grew to kind of like it. I can't remember when the change came but suddenly she LOVED tummy time, then as soon as she could sit up from lying down there was no looking back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045129 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:16:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 1045129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's only four weeks, but yeah, she tolerates it for maybe one minute then fusses for a few then full blown crying. </p> <p>She did, however, manage to roll over off the mini boppy today! She hates it so much she taught herself to roll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-hate-tummy-time#post-1045111 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:10:10 +0000 Pepper 1045111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, when did they grow to tolerate it? </p> <p>LO never minded it THAT much, but all of a sudden he wants nothing to do with it! He's 9 weeks old. He yells and fusses as soon as I put him on his belly. He tries to army crawl/scoot by pushing off with his feet, but he can't obviously coordinate his arms yet, so he just slides his upper body along the ground, if that makes sense. He can hold his head up pretty well, but that doesn't seem to help. He yells the entire time, which usually erupts into full blown crying. </p> <p>How long did you make your infant do tummy time if they hated it? </p>
