5 month old HATES tummy time
I’m a FTM. My baby girl is 5 months next week. Every time I roll her onto her tummy she would either scream or roll herself on her back, so her tummy time is probably 5 seconds each time. She has always been frustrated being on her tummy but now that she can escape she just stops altogether. I’ve tried all the tips and tricks in the book and nothing works.
She did have some muscle tightness but it has been treated by an osteo. Since then her tummy time was better but not anywhere as much as that she goes to the playgroup with.
She doesnt roll to her tummy. She has good head/neck control and can sit with support can’t do tripod sitting yet, probably due to her short arms. She was born small 2.4kg and still is a small baby at 10th percentile.
She doesn’t like being on her back either. I spend most of my day carrying her around or just a quick 1min on the floor and she’ll crack it again.
I think I just need reassurance. Was anyone’s baby in similar situation and still managed to meet milestones on time? Any advice is appreciated!
