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...
Yup, normal. My girl was not able to fully support her head until after 5 months. She didn’t like tummy time and would often cry after only a few minutes. However, it seemed like she just wasn’t ready during the early months. At 5 months, it just came naturally to her. She lasted longer during tummy times. Meanwhile, just continue to let him do tummy times no matter how short the duration is. You can also improvise by letting him lie on her tummy on your tummy, burp him on your thighs and put him against your chest, chin above your shoulder and let him lift her head instinctively to see you. Every baby has his own pace. Do not stress about it too much.
