Tummy time

Hi Mommies, How much do you give your lo each tummy time? And how many times in 1 day? My lo currently 5mo 7days, but still can’t really sits up against the back of the chair and sometimes can’t hold her head up with some support too. When tummy time also not really can hold her head up. Should I worry? The doc said she need more tummy time, and she still not ready yet for solid. My lo had seizures history.

For a start, you can give 1-5 minutes of tummy time every time, say after you change her diapers. That’s like 6-7 a day. It need not be on a mat. You can put her on your chest while seated on a sofa and talk to her to encourage her to lift her head. You can check out Youtube videos on how to do tummy time. You can slowly extend the time bit by bit till she is stronger. Many resources online like Pathways Org and so on.
