Since hes a preterm baby, hes actually just 7 months old developmentally so dont worry too much mommy! Hell eventually catch up (: Indeed tummy time is really impt as it helps baby to strengthen his neck which is vital for his progression to flipping, rolling and crawling. My baby too hated it at first but I always did it after every diaper change since he was a few weeks old so its many times per day. Increase duration as he gets stronger. Eventually my baby was alr rolling ard at 3 mo and starting to crawl in reverse at 5+ months. I do alot of playtime exercises with my baby. You can google it, lots of youtube videos.

My baby too is just in the 25th percentile for weight, not balanced with his 80th percentile for height but he seems to be gaining more now since he started solids at 5+ mo.
