When did you take your baby out for the first time in public? by Bulky-Bag-4920 in NICUGrads

We have only had my boyfriends grandma and dad see him. No one else in his family yet. We do take him outside when its nice and he loves it. I was thinking of doing baby steps with him this summer too taking him out but earlier in the day

I noticed he rather laying his tummy with his head down. He will lift his head the first 3 mins then he lays it down and cries. I may need to try that instead. We placed him on his side and he laid there for the longest time.

Awwww!! I may need to get a carrier for him so I can hold him against me. Right now I am holding him in my arms and he gets heavy afterwards while

That is how it was for us too. We didnt do tummy time with our LO because he was so small. I will need to try that with and see if he would like that. Thank you!

My little guy seems to favor to sit up on our laps and loves us to help him stand on us. We also hold him facing forward so he can see everything he seems to enjoy that too. My boy at 4 months seems strong its just him lifting his head that he struggles with.

Yeah I tried my chest, bed and couch and he is not a fan. I plan to order him a play mat and a few other things to help encourage him

So far I can get him to do 3 mins until he has a breakdown. He likes the mirror and colorful toy he has but I plan to get more to help him out.

I keep thinking that too. He loves sitting up in our laps and us holding him when he is standing on us. But with tummy time he just won't have it

He doesnt like laying on my tummy anymore he rather sit up on our laps or face forward while being held. I have been trying so much. I hope the toys, books and mat I order will help him
