@kinactivekids: Feeling like everyone else got an instruction manual for tummy time except for you? I’ve got ya😉 Here’s the truth: tummy time ONLY works when your baby is actually bearing weight through their forearms or hands! That’s what builds the shoulder and neck strength needed for rolling, sitting, and crawling. Want to make sure your baby’s tummy time really counts? Try these 3 pro tips ⬇️ ✨ Tip 1: Keep elbows in line with shoulders to help your baby bear weight and avoid arching. ✨ Tip 2: For babies under 2 months, use a slight incline (shoulders above hips) to make it easier and more comfortable. ✨ Tip 3: Start from day one! It’s never too early to build strong movement foundations. Tag a mom who’s struggling to find the joy in tummy time! #tummytime #pedspt #babymilestones #purposefulplay

You can also put them in a face down in a football hold and it does the same thing

Or hold the baby at your shoulder. Babies don’t like tummy time.

Can someone explain to me why we need to do all this rigmarole when our parents did none of it, and we turned out fine?

We have a baby that has been diagnosed with sensory hypersensitivity and she absolutely hates tummy time. She would lie on her face and cry until blue and struggling to breathe. She also doesn’t like to be touched and different positions are difficult to try out🥺

i always time it for 10-15 minutes (less time for younger ones) once they were four months old and could raise their head

Just getting down on the floor with them and being the entertainment helps with keeping them there also
