Hellobee Boards

15-30 minutes a day total, 5 minutes here and there during the day and evening. He is 5 months now, and keeps rolling back over, so we have rolling battles when I flip him back on his tummy.

The big thing that I learned later was to pull his arms forward so he would learn to prop himself up on his elbows. He likes to keep his arms at his sides.

LO is only 2 weeks old and we try to do 5 mins of tummy time a day for now. We usually do it at night, when she's exceptionally fussy anyway and hope it'll help tire her out so she can get to sleep.

@regberadaisy: Does she do tummy time during the day while she's at daycare (or whatever your childcare situation is)? I know our daycare will certainly do tummy time w/ our baby... especially if we ask them to.

Does it count as tummy time if LO is laying on my chest/stomach (and I'm laying down flat) or does it have to be on a firmer surface? If laying on me counts, we do about half an hour a day, and she is 5 weeks old.

She does not like doing tummy time on the mat, or with a boppy pillow. She does like laying on my chest and stomach though, and she lifts her head and looks around a lot.
