Tummy Time
Hi mummies, is it normal for my baby not yet able to lift up his neck? He is currently 3mths old plus. Doc asked to do tummy time more often but my baby will cry within seconds when I try to put him in tummy time position...
Try putting him on your chest while you’re lying down. So he has he incentive to look up at you. If he’s doing tummy time on a mat, you can lie down on the mat beside him so he can see your face. Even if baby cries, it’s okay as long as he can breathe. Try keeping him on his tummy for 30 seconds first, pick him up for a cuddle, then put him back for another 30 seconds. If you do this every day, soon he’ll be able to last longer:) When carrying baby, carry him upright with his chin resting against your shoulder, and your other hand supporting the back of his neck. So he can try looking up from your shoulder and strengthen his neck.
