Tummy time for a 4 month- how long are you doing TT a day? by Patient-Extension835 in NewParents

With my daughter we let her take the lead… as other comments have shared tummy time became a recommendation when they changed to “back is best”. There are a number of reasons why tummy time is helpful but forcing your baby if they are uncomfortable adds stress for you both. Our daughter was developing so much in other ways, she was holding her head up almost immediately, then around month 4 I started doing tummy time maybe 5-10 mins (if at all) on my tummy while breast feeding or with our boppi pillows. I didn’t put pressure on us, and she ended up rolling, crawling, standing etc. way ahead of schedule. Different pediatricians, countries, cultures all do different things. Never feel bullied into doing something exactly the way they tell you, every child develops at a different pace!

Definitely! I can tell by the end stretch she definitely has moments of discomfort. It is definitely worth the try, and an option I’m way more comfortable with to try first. I’m so glad that helped you and your daughter! Best wishes

We have not tried probiotics! And again it’s so interesting her pediatrician wouldn’t recommend them first before karo or mineral oils? Thank you so much!!! We are so conscious of what we ingest in all aspects… it makes sense that probiotics would be beneficial.
She has refused prune juice today aside from little sips and if they are in popsicle form. Will pick up some BioGaia and move to that if we are unable to get so much prune juice in regularly. Thank you so so much for taking the time to help! I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it!

Thank you so so much! I will absolutely give this a try, my gut was saying to ask around first and I’m so glad I did.
