My son Joshua rolled over at three weeks. Jesse, the second twin, doesn't really like tummy time, but i give him some anyway and  he'll be okay  but in a few minutes starts crying. so i let him cry a few seconds to see if he'll get frustrated enough to lift his head or move, and then i'll put him on his back. Sometimes a bright toy or something noisy will be a good distraction and i'll encourage them to try and move closer to it.

my son matthew, is almost 3 months. he holds his head up by himself, he wiggles all over when he's on his back. he jumps and kicks and is very playful. his legs are very strong. but unfortunetly im haveing an extreamly hard time getting him to play on his stomach. he hates it. ive tried toys, music. me laying with him. in crib(so he's not on the hard surface) i can't find anything to make him feel comfortable on his stomach, unless he is on me then he is fine, but then he wants to cuddle. which is not helping his arm muscles develope. im not sure if im trying to push hm to fast or what. does anyone have any suggestions that i havn't tried that might help. i would really appreciate it. thanks.

My little girl doesn't like tummy time very much and I've heard it's easier for them to turn from their stomach to their back..any one have any suggestions for tummy time?

the only way that i can get my son to tolerate tummy time is to get on my tummy either facing him, or on the side of him.  talking, singing, etc to him is the only way to keep him occupied enough to stay down there without a tantrum.  hope that helps.

My daughter also HATED tummy time, we were lucky to get 5 minutes a day in. It really worried me, I was afraid of it hindering her developement but she did everything in her own time and has not had any "late" milestones. Just be persistant, try different toys to encourage her, and make sure she has enough space to do thing how she wants to. 

My son rolled over at 3 days old in the NICU when they had him on his tummy. He always hated tummy time. In addition he throws up a lot so I am sure it was uncofortable for him. So when I asked my doc what I could do she only gave 1 suggestion: Lay on the floor face to face with him and play. They only need about 3 10-15 minute sessions. So that's what I had to do in order to keep his mind off the fact the he was on his belly. He's now 6 months old and is loving tummy time. Although now its role from front to back and back to front over and over agian. And now he's almost crawling. Each child is different it took mine a week to realize he could have fun on his tummy and I didn't have to be in his face all the time. It could take a little less or a little more. Hope this helps! 

my daughter is one. she hated tummy time. i tried alot of different things but finally just figured to let her cry a little and if she didnt stop to put her on her back again. the best thing to do is to try a few times a day. they will cry and fuss but they will get used to it. just set a time limit. if they start fussing really bad lay them back on their backs. a rolled up towel under the chest does help them also. i have alot of info on different things that will help with tummy time. a friend would bring them over. if anyone needs any ideas just message me.
