Baby doesn't like tummy time

My baby gal is turning 4months soon. She will get cranky and cry each time she is on tummy. Any mummies have the same problem?

Same problem with mine, I guess it is tiring if they're not so stable yet so they don't like it. I still try to do it until she starts crying haha. She could only do a few seconds at first but eventually got better so just have to wait for their body to adjust and they will be OK with it

Thank you mummies for your advice. I guess its jus a matter of time for them to be ready. We caught her a few times flipping on the playmat to grab her toy and now she is more willing to play on her tummy :)

Mine hates tummy time too..Just need find ways to entertain her. I'll sing and entertain her with her favourite toys or books.

Just keep trying to do it as a form of exercise but can stop when the baby looks really uncomfortable.

Can try using a yoga ball to make tummy time easier and more fun for baby.
