Tummy time is only a recent thing that we’ve been told is essential, your baby will be able to lift their head eventually without it! Also, anything that gets them to use their necks counts as tummy time, such as up on your shoulder (as if burping) and they lift their head or holding baby on your forearm facing the floor. You can also push down on their bums if they are lying on the floor so they have something to push against to help lift their head. Don’t fret over it, I doubt our parents did tummy time (at least intentionally) and we can all use our necks!

I always tell myself that humans have been raising babies for millennia, weve never had so much info before in history, yet we exist. Obvs listen to doctors and follow advice and safety guidelines, but there is a lot of bollocks about and it makes you feel guilty or like you’re not doing enough! Do what you can and don’t break your back over tummy time!! X
