My 2-month-old screams the entire time he's on his tummy. I know it's important for development, but it's so hard to make him do it. How long should I be aiming for each day, and are there any ways to make it more enjoyable for him?
Solidarity! We are in the thick of it too. The only thing that seems to help is being super consistent with our bedtime routine. And lots of coffee.
Even a few minutes at a time adds up! We used a special tummy time mat with lots of textures and a mirror. That helped distract him.
Have you talked to your pediatrician about it? They might have some good advice.
Totally agree with the previous comment. That worked for us too.
My pediatrician said to let them sleep! As long as they are gaining weight properly and have enough wet/dirty diapers, you don't need to wake a sleeping baby. Enjoy the rest!
