Ideas for tummytime

My LO hates being on her tummy!  I make her do it anyway for a few minutes of each routine.  Any thoughts on how to make it better?!

Hi there,
Dont know what age your lo is but dd hated it too, so what I did was when she woke up from her nap I would put her on her tummy in her cot and stay with her and play and put a doll just out of her reach. Really worked well for us.

one of the things we did was to let our baby support himself on  our legs while we read to him (from 3-4 months onward).  we also only did 10 minutes three times/day - it's really hard work for babies!
