Hi,
My 7 and a half month old hates being on her tummy. I try to put her on her tummy a couple of times a day but she either screams straight away or within a few minutes.
I've tried putting toys around her or giving her one to play with but it doesn't help. Sometimes first thing in the morning she'll lay on her tummy and watch tv for a few minutes. Tv probably isn't the best idea but it works for her, at that time anyway.
When she's on her back on the floor she will occassionally roll from back to front but then realises she's on her tummy and gets upset.
I wasn't too worried about it because apart from rolling around she's doing everything else she should be doing including sitting by herself. That was until my Maternal Health Nurse told me she'd be a late crawler because of it and therefore a late walker.
Does anyone else have a baby that hates tummy time or can anyone give me any advise or suggestions?
Thanks
