Tummy Time

[sharlan]

How do you encourage tummy time for your infants? My 5 mo HATES tummy time with a passion. I'm lucky if she tolerates it for 5 mins. I put her on a blanket with bright colored toys all around her.

I've even tried using a boppy pillow under her tummy.

She will tolerate her back but prefers to sit up.

Somebody here (I think maybe MarinaVanessa) posted this video awhile back, which I thought was great:

My 10 month old hated it, too, and I found that sitting with him across my lap while supporting his head seemed to help him get used to it.
