@Momof2gurlz...My daughter HATED tummy time as well. Anytime I would put her on her tummy she would scream. I was concerned that she wasn't going to build her muscles but she is now just fine. She is 10 months old and crawls everywhere walk along the furniture and pulls herself up to stand. I wouldn't worry about too much about it, she'll be fine!
6/13/2011 11:35:01 AM Report AbuseShe is three months old. Dont ask her, just do it. At first she is going to cry, but you must be strong on your heart. Remember, you are the adult here, you know better what is the best for her. My 3 months old baby was getting used to sleep only in my arms, but now I put him in bed, at fist he cried lot, but soon he got tired an fall sleep. We are moms, remember, we are teaching them how to behave.
1/31/2011 10:44:14 AM Report AbuseI have a seven month olf daughter that refuses to put any weight on her legs. She scrunches her feet under her body when they touch any surface. I at first thought this was because of sensory problems being that one of her older sisters and her father suffer from tactile problems but she has not made any progress even with continuous brushing, messaging and rubbing of lower extremeties.
