That way I didn’t have to lay on the floor and she was more eye level with stuff. Sometimes I just sat and played other times I foldered laundry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tummy-time-5#post-2884110 Sat, 11 May 2019 14:07:22 +0000 Umbreon 2884110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you! We will start!</p> <p>We have hardwoods throughout the house. Are those interlocking foam mats okay with a blanket on top? Or should I use the mattress from his pack n play? I worry about his head dropping too fast to the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tummy-time-5#post-2884107 Sat, 11 May 2019 12:26:38 +0000 Petitduck 2884107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ASAP. It’s good for him to do tummy time anywhere, your chest, floor, pack and play while awake (mainly as a protected area away from pets, people, or siblings). Wherever. I started when my kids were a few days old.</p> <p>My first kid didn’t love it and my second was a weirdo and loved it and we would do so much tummy time on the floor, it was wild. And my second had a really awful bum rash a few days after birth so needed lots of air it out time and because there was a penis involved I preferred that to take place on a towel on his tummy. 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tummy-time-5#post-2884105 Sat, 11 May 2019 12:17:59 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2884105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to do both floor tummy time and on me tummy time. E was pretty good about tolerating whatever. Start small and work your way up. Even a min or two is a good place to start and if you can do it more then once a day great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tummy-time-5#post-2884104 Sat, 11 May 2019 12:15:38 +0000 SweetiePie 2884104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Umbreon: we did it as soon as the umbilical cord fell off. So very early. They also tolerate it better the earlier you start.<br /> Most WILL hate it at first but just stick it out.<br /> You can start with just a couple mins at a time.<br /> And if some days all you do is chest/shoulder tummy time 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’ll be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tummy-time-5#post-2884103 Sat, 11 May 2019 11:20:34 +0000 Umbreon 2884103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is almost 6 weeks old. He has "tummy time" on my chest every day - he lifts his head to look at me and is getting strong. </p> <p>When should I move him to the floor? Or should I have already? </p>
