What Can I Do To Help My Baby Love Tummy Time?

Please help me out, my 5 month old baby hates tummy time a lot, he cries out lot each time I try it out, he have not even rolled over yet... what am I suppose to do? I really want him to start crawling soon!!!.

Your baby hates tummy times, but you can help him change by making tummy time to be more fun and worth trying. below are some ways you can help your baby love it more...

After having her bath, massage her back and legs with lotion while she is on her tummy, babies love that a lot. Lie down your baby on his back and make her be in a good mood.

Singing can help and as you gently touch her head and then say to her “this is your head” then touch her ear and say again “this is your ear”, touch her hands as well as her legs and every part of her body, repeats their names one by one.

This will helps the baby in become aware of their body, but it also helps with bonding. When you get to the child's legs move them up and down, to the left and to the right being bent at the knee. Then lightly cross one leg over the other, letting the baby to turn over and lie on her tummy. Repeat it over and over again then let her have some tummy time and I guess babies loves this part a lot especially when you sing and play along with her. Let her have her tummy time for some minutes until she gets fussy.

Put her favorite toys in front of her and lie her down, make her see the toys. You can lie down with her too and play with the toys just to distract her, soon she will forget that she has been lying down for awhile like the one in the picture below.

Mom or dad can lie down and put the baby on the chest with her tummy down, you should sing and play with her while she is lying on your tummy. Have fun with your baby and if she likes it then that is a great idea and she can easily bond with you during this. these are precious moments and it worth it. Remember the baby can easily sleep off while on your body because it seems to be more comfortable, but try and play with her as much as you can until she gets tired.

if you have tried all these and it didn't work out,  just give your baby some time and she will pick up on her own anytime she feels that she is ready to roll over, crawl or walk she will figure it out. are you still worried that she will not meet up with her mates, don't worry because every baby is different.
