tummy time

We started doing tummy time on our lo when she was about 3 months old. She disliked being placed on her tummy and would cry whenever she was in that position. In order to encourage her to lift her head up, i rolled up a blanket and put it under her arms & chest to act as a support. I would put her on her tummy after diaper change and before her feedings. Should you want to put baby on tummy after feeding, you may want to wait for an hr before doing so. Starting you may want to place baby on tummy for 1 min (from the time baby begin to lift up) and slowly increase the time as baby grows stronger. If baby really dislike to be on his/her tummy, you may put baby on your chest to start off.
