      On my chest and then the football/lap(great way to burp as well lol) hold let’s me get a couple things done while still holding a baby. Also my babies are 2.5 months old I just started doing tummy time with their heads a few inches in front of each other so they can start to look at each other since they’re a little stronger to put their heads up for longer

    One more reason to do tummy time: if baby has stomach aches, it can ease them. Ours had tummy ache ALL THE TIME before regular tummy time. When she understood that it helps to be on her tummy, she began really liking it!

    So glad I found this video. I thought I was the worst parent because my son didn't do traditional tummy time until he was 5 months due to reflux. But we would carry him around all day in the football hold and also did chest to chest sometimes. So glad we at least did something for his development!

    My baby has never hated tummy time. The difference is that I've done it only on my chest for the 1st month and just a little on the floor for the 2nd month. I started going full on at the floor by the 3rd month and he was stronger already. Now he's almost 4 months and really really strong. And he loves tummy time. He smiles and laughs, and tries his beat to move. 😊

      @Sara Rodriquez - Try doing it with one baby at a time, like do tummy time with the baby that’s awake while the other baby is still sleeping. Adjust your time with every activity, including feeding time, to where they don’t need something at the same time. If one hates it make tummy time quicker but more often throughout the day.🥰

    He did his first solid fifteen minutes about an hour ago and I am so proud of him! I’m planning to do it fifteen minutes every wake window, (up to bed time) in all four positions
    My doctor tried to say do 30 minutes straight, three times a day, and I’d rather do 15 minute blocks, six times a day to get to the same quota
    Can you let me know of any critiques you may have?
    Furthermore, thank you so much for not shaming the mamas who didn’t do it right out of the womb 🥰

    We started with our twins when we brought them home, they're 4 months now- it doesn't matter how long it's been since they ate. If we put them in tummy time they throw up and then plop their face in it 🥲. They also scream and cry the entire time.. I swear they're never going to roll over.

    • @barbara623
      @barbara623 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I couldn't imagine the spit up and face plopping in it would be desirable in any way. One thing that I did come across on TH-cam was a man who did physical therapy with babies. One of his tricks to get the baby to roll over was while the baby was lying on its back, he would take the baby's upper thigh in his hand being sure that the leg was bent, and push lightly on the top of the babies thigh and top of the knee towards the other leg to encourage the baby to learn to use the Leverage of its legs to be able to roll over. I hope this is helpful to you, as it was for me. Best of luck to you and your twins. Oh and by the way, in case you have not heard this today, you are doing an amazing job with both of your babies! You are a wonderful mother oh, and the fact that you have two babies instead of one in my eyes makes you super mom!

  • @LilGagaChick

    My baby literally couldn't wait for tummy time. She would kill head on her own at 2 weeks and sometimes she likes to smack her head on my collar bone and cry. I felt so bad because my hand was on her butt and back so I couldn't stop it. But she repeatedly does lift her head for long moments so I started tummy time as soon as she lost her umbilical cord. I do it for 15 minutes, I let her do it as I pump. Sometimes she gets fussy, sometimes she lasts through the thing, and sometimes she falls asleep 😴 so cute. Either way I flip her over when she's done. Sometimes she flips over on her own if she's done with it. This is why its supervised 😄

I aim for just the best attentive care for my kids optimal growth in general and it starts home. So thanks again for another great video full of incite on this particularly. My 5 month old did a lot of tummy time from an infant to now in those various positions and still refuses to use her hands....so I just keep trying put her in proper formation and assist.

      Hi Jordan no need to apologise. Yesterday’s appointment with the doctor would have been very overwhelming. Your thought about seeing a physiotherapist who specialises in paediatric is a good idea as they can give you specific advice after seeing your son- like positioning advice and tweaking tummy time positions and specific stretches if required. Without seeing your little one it is hard to give more specific advice. Very generally I find most babies tolerate the football hold tummy time position and the chest to chest tummy time position at your son’s age. I am releasing another video this Friday and where I demonstrate how to do the tummy time positions holding an baby rather than a doll which you might find helpful. Over the next week I would try if possible to reduce the google search- there is a lot of misinformation out there, wait for the CT scan and book in to a physiotherapist if you are able to?

    How abt pointers or tips for colic /reflux babies? How long after feeding should we wait to do tummy time.

    • @EmmaHubbard
      @EmmaHubbard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi Nina.unfortunately this really depends on the baby. Some parents report doing tummy time before a feed is easier for a bub with reflux and others say 15-30mins after a feed. Babies with reflux tend to tolerate tummy time better if they are in slight recline - so in the chest to chest position, or doing tummy time resting on a nursing pillow/rolled up towel.

    I havnt done it at all I was never told to. She will be 2 months on the 22nd. I will start doing this. I out her in my chest often and she lifts her head. My sister tried once to but her in her stomach once and she went to sleep immediately .

    • @EmmaHubbard
      @EmmaHubbard  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Ashleigh, don’t worry about not doing it in the past. Just start now. Your little one will probably be upset the first few times which is totally fine and expected. Just keep persisting and she will tolerate it better.

    • @EmmaHubbard
      @EmmaHubbard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thanks for the message. If is fine to do tummy time on a mattress - just make sure you watch your little one when they are doing tummy time on a mattress. I have found babies find tummy time on a mattress harder, as the mattress is soft and they baby sinks into the mattress. Also as soon as they start to lie their head on the mattress turn them onto their back. There is a risk they might not be able to clear their head to the side when they face plant with fatigue.

    Our 6 month old really struggled with TT for a few months. Reflux, CMPA and oral ties that created bad back and neck tightness. We finally got her to where she will do it and she likes it. She started rolling at 4 months but they’ve tossed around that she needs OT. Our pediatrician disagrees. She was held upright around the clock for 3
    Months and has incredible head control. But she can’t crawl yet and just started attempting to use her arms to help her sit after a chiro visit. Any tips on helping her to roll to the other side and to crawl? I’m afraid she’s behind from not being able to do tummy time the first few months 😭

    Hello. Should tummy time be done on the floor? Or is a firm mattress ok? Asking for my 8-week old LO. ❤️

    • @EmmaHubbard
      @EmmaHubbard  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      At this age I would recommend doing short bursts on the floor, as well as, the other tummy time positions. The floor is firmer than a mattress so it's easier for your little one to push up through their arms on.
      But if you can't get onto the floor then a mattress is fine. Just remain close by as it is easier for a bub to accidentally roll over when on a mattress and if your little one does get tired and rest their head on the mattress their breathing might be restricted. Hope that helps!

    • @EmmaHubbard
      @EmmaHubbard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Fikile sounds like tummy time has been stressful. I released a video 2 weeks ago on tummy time and the different positions with me demonstrating with a baby. You might find that helpful as it is hard to really understand with baby doll demonstrations. Don’t stress about not rolling over yet. They typically start rolling from back to front from 5-7 months. Awesome that you have tried tummy time again. Your little one might start to tolerate it better now that she is older. Remember seconds in tummy time is a great start. Check out my latest tummy time video and I am sure you will find a tummy time position your little one likes.

      Hi @Adrienn Toth that sounds very stressful. Unfortunately, it is all about trial and error. Some parents find doing tummy time before a feed better and others find it better to feed and then wait 20 plus minutes and then do tummy time. You might find your little one tolerates the football hold, and tummy time on a boppy pillow better.

    Thanks so much for this video. My baby is 3 months old and we have been doing tummy time since birth. He tolerates it for about 2-3 minutes but then gets very upset. I think a big factor for this is because he suffers from acid reflux and after a while the pressure on his tummy always seems to bring up acid. He is on medication but we are still struggling to manage it. Do you have any tips for us and any other mums with babies with reflux? It doesn't seem to make a difference to his discomfort on a full tummy or empty tummy.
    Thanks in advance.

    • @EmmaHubbard
      @EmmaHubbard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi Megan generally I find if a baby has reflux then having the baby adopt a more upright position in tummy time helps. So you might want to try placing your little one on a rolled up towel (under their chest) or a breastfeeding pillow (boppy pillow) when in the traditional tummy time position. He might also tolerate chest to chest tummy time- try and sit slightly reclined not lying flat on the lounge/bed or floor. Also tummy time on a exercise ball might be helpful. You might find it helpful to check out my latest tummy time video where I demonstrate these positions with actual babies. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/377j05F4edY/w-d-xo.html

I cannot stress enough how important it is to use a firm surface (free of blankets and pillows) and to WATCH YOUR BABY WHEN THEY ARE DOING TUMMY TIME as it’s a potential smothering hazard!
