I think all babies hates tummy time cause my girl when she was around 2-3 months old she also hated it when we flip her around. But we keep trying and say good job well done just keep complimenting her and slowly she starts to love it and starts to try to flip herself and when she did it she’s very happy. Perhaps you can keep trying tummy time but limit to like 5mins per day then slowly increase. Tummy time in fact is a good exercise for baby, it helps strengthen their muscles and get their muscles grow for crawling, sit and even stand. Take your time, don’t rush. Eventually your baby will have the strength. Anyway is his weight within the percentile? My baby girl weight is also decreasing as she grows but it’s still within the minimum percentile. We did ask the pd and she say it’s ok so long as she’s still within the minimum percentile and it’s normal for her to be at that percentile as she was born small (barely hitting the benchmark) though full term.
