Just wondering anyone have advice for tummy time.My lo hates it she is 5 mths and when put her on tummy she moves arms and legs given out all the time and not lifting her head for me.

She does stay for few mins on the nursing pillow as she is able to c toys.

And she lays for few mins across my lap.But it never last long and she gets upset and crys not sure what to do ::)

My LO was never big on tummy time either and slow to warm up to the idea.  I would just let him try it, little bits at a time.  He would only tolerate a couple minutes at once, but even still I would keep putting him on his tummy and trying to get him used to it.  Using the pillow is a good idea, any time they are on their tummy even with a pillow or on you is still tummy time, so keep doing those things.  Practice makes perfect, even if she doesn't love it now she'll come around in her own time.  :)  Nothing to worry about!

our little boy hated it with a passion and only in the last couple of weeks has he taken to it a little bit more. (he is now 6.5 months) I used to lean back on the couch and put him on my chest and that seemed to work a little bit more as he could see me when he lifted his head.

Our DS hated it for a long time, I would just do frequent short periods. And I would get down on the floor right in front of him and talk and make him laugh, it gave me maybe an extra 30 secs to 1 minute, but every little bit helps.

He was slow to roll over, slow to crawl but at 10 months is close to walking, so don't worry, they catch up fast!!

DD hated it. We lay on our back, laid her on our tummy with our faces v close together and chatted and smiled to her, which worked as we were combining it with a cuddle  ;)   Also put colourful toys just in front of her when she was on the floor.

My first DS hated tummy time, too. I found that if I did tummy time with him laying on my chest or laying over my leg he enjoyed it much more.He esp. liked over the leg. We also did lots of short tummy times, rather than pushing for longer periods. Once he started rolling over, he was ok with being on his tummy.

DS#2, however, loves tummy time - it's all he wants to do! Go figure!
