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
Oh that is too cute!
Hey my baby is just 2months old n he loves football position very much...I m following ur video's for last 2months....thanks n lots of love from India
@@lindsyparra 33322222222
On the chest is the most natural position for my baby. He loves it but absolutely hates traditional tummy time.
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!
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!
That was a helpful comment. Will try for my girl too. She always freaks out and cries and sleep less because of tummy ache.
I breast fed but still used simethicone drops but with my grandson I use lactose drops in his formula, and simethicone drops or Gripe water as needed.
It helps when your gut is healthy.
This is helpful! My little guy has tummy aches
Yes, I do this to release gas
Yes tummy time helps my little girl with burping! She's a difficult burper 😅 she's 5 weeks right now
This is the kind of info they should give before you leave the hospital with your baby. It’s so much harder to remember to give my babe tummy time the second time around. My toddler is so distracting I have a hard time keeping track of what my newborn needs 🤪
Yes! This wasn't mentioned at the hospital at all... I started at one month. 😕
Emma is so under rated I am surprised she does not have a million subs yet…
Whoever has directed/edited Emma's videos has done an awesome job. I like how they are straight to the point with lots of visual variety with camera angles and various clips. I have such a short attention span and even I can follow her videos. Thank you!! :)
Thank you! I have an amazing team that I couldn't do this without :)
Thanks for this tutoring Emma
Thank you so much!!! I needed help so much! Baby 2 months old and now I have so much more to go on!!!
Thank you so much. Great video. 👏🏿
Wow..thank you for this. ..I thought there was only one way to do tummy time..have learnt a lot 😊
Our first boy started with chest to chest tummy time... he basically lived in that position. I kept feeling guilty that we didn't really do dedicated tummy time though because he didn't really do the traditional tummy time until he was 3 months. Really glad to have found this video now though. I will be using a lot of the tips and tricks mentioned for baby #2
Same with our first
Same here with my baby.
Same here!
Thank you for this video❣️
Your video is so informative and very helpful! I love how you are straight to the point and explains it short but clear
Thanks so much!
Extremely helpful!!!
U should have more subscribers ....I like ur content very muchhh ...it's really useful ....I hope u get to the million ....thank you sooo muchh 🙏🏼❤️
Great instructional video!
So informative! Thanks so much 🙌🏽
You’re welcome!
Thank you for this video! My baby loves tummy time IF he’s with me. I was told that I must do tummy time on the floor but now I know that I’m doing nothing wrong letting him have some tummy time with mommy
Nothing wrong at all! Tummy time with mommy is often the best!
Amazing insights. Thanks 😊
Thanks, Emma! Great video! 😊
No worries. Glad you liked it
Great video thanks❤
Great video. Thank you.
I loved your video , helps so much! My baby turned 3 months on the 7th of this month. Will be 4 months in about 2 wks. We do tummy time with Boppy pillow and he is perfect there and with the towel rolled up. But he’s still not able to hold his head up high for too long with just flat surface. What do you recommend plz??
Great video, thank you so much, this helped tons! Blessings 🙏🏿😊💙
Your welcome.
Can’t wait to try this with my 2 month old tummy time hater! I’m a FTM and didn’t realize there were 4 positions and ways to make them easier! Thanks Emma!
What does that have to do with *anything?* Why is that relevant?
@@strixtin this context FTM means First Time Mom
@@ana8621 I see... I very much appreciate you explaining, and that makes far more sense in the situation.
Hi Emma :) as a first time mum, I cannot express how much I appreciate the content you’ve put up! Any chance you could talk a bit more about your routine with a newborn :)
I will try!
Hi,iam from India,we don't have concept of tummy time.but we do the similar activity while oiling and bathing a baby.we sit in the floor with our legs extended ,we put child on its tumny on the leg of massager n bath giver.the child will hold the leg.we will give quick oil massage n a quick bath .that is the only tummy time we know here.naturally after 3months babies start roll over n they will be on their tummy .this is something new for me.thank you for detailed video.
I have a 2 wk old who loves tummy time lying on my chest. I am going to start trying the other 3 positions today.
Thanks Emma. Great advice
I find the chest to chest the best tummy time position when you have a newborn! So nice to have a cuddle too
Thank you! Very informative!
Glad it was helpful
Thank you so much for the video. It is very informative and so much help. Left me happy spending the tummy time with my gorgeous daughter. We love the chest to chest position, she falls asleep whenever we have the tummy time.
Thanks you. Glad you found it helpful
Great video, my baby is now doing better than when we first started, I'm sure soon he will get used to it. Thanks Emma
For a first time mom these videos are so helpful, thank you!! Do you have any recommendations for twins? It’s hard to do a lot of tummy time when there are two and one hates it.
@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.🥰
Both of my twins hate tummy time. I feel like I have done everything I can to make it more fun but all I get is crying.. it makes it really hard to do tummy time…
It’s not easy, I have twins and I know how hard it is. Just try to keep doing it, it will get better with time.
Tummy time after eating? My baby would spit or even vomit after a feed if I make him move too much!
@@alanaalbarado2357 thank u , tho I’m young in pregnancy I’m expecting twins n this answer is very helpful ☺️😉
perfect! My son was worried because his daughter hated tummy time! Very helpful! When mine were little I used a music box. Beatrix Potter!
That's a great idea! Hopefully these tips help your son's daughter.
Your videos are so helpfull for me..👏👏
I'm most grateful Madam, for sharing this stuff with us...
God bless you so much, OK..
It's my pleasure
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 😭
Omg i needed this video! Finally, the algorithm showed me this video. Thanks, Emma!
You're so welcome!
As a new mum again 9 years later I've realized I had a lot of relearning to do for aligning not only my mommy skills but to enhance my intelligence to do even better this time around; while focusing on the importance of just growth in every way....nothing else. I've saved so much time and money,,,this time around as well as less hospital visits about silly things. 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. It definitely takes time but we will get there. As you mentioned, "Consistency & Patience are key!"
Much love, blessings, respect and peace
Thanks so much for sharing!
Sounds like you are doing an amazing job with your little one.
Also thank you for reminding me how precious these moments are, even though it can be a struggle at times.
What the heck wish i saw this sooner!! 😮luckily my baby was born with strong neck and back muscles because i have not nearly been doing enough tummy time!! Maybe 30-45 all up each day and she’s 3 mo!!!
I felt awful because he’s almost three months and I’m just now being adamant about tummy time
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 🥰
I love your videos. The information is short, clear and easy to remember. 💜💜❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
You are amazing! Thanks for the tips
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this! It helps a lot.
So happy you found it helpful @LoveTheCareys
So glad you liked it. Hopefully it helps
Very informative! Thank you
You’re welcome!
Hi Emma, thank you for this insightful video.
My baby is 5 months old and I only started tummy time over a month ago. I tend to put him on his tummy after he wakes up and he likes it but shortly after, he starts to cry as he doesn't like it. Myself and my husband reach our arms out to him so that he tries to come towards us but he doesn't like to put much effort in as he starts crying lol! We also do it on the bed but would the floor on the mat be better? He holds his head up very well and reaches for anything around him whilst being on his tummy. I tend to put him on my tummy on the odd occasion also...
After watching your video I will be doing it more often, but at his age, would you recommend me doing anything else to help him being the age he is? My health visitor didn't really help much with that. I'm from the UK also. X
Thank you for the video. My newborn is preterm and nearly a month now. Any advise when to start tummy time?
Thanks Emma it's fun listening to you. My grandson is three month and week....thanks for videos...good job
Thank you! You are so welcome!
My 5w old baby hates tummy time but I going to try the other 3 thanks for great advise and help!
Hey Annica hopefully your little one likes the other tummy time options.
@@EmmaHubbard my baby was born on 36th week. Is tummy time necessary for him now? He is now 1 month old
Thank you!
Your welcome
thank you for your videos. I'm a new mom and I am learning from your videos.
You are so welcome!
So helpful!
Glad you found it helpful.
Oh!!! I'm sure your channel will help me alot cuz I'm pediatric O.T too
So glad it will help. Being a paediatric OT is so much fun!
You're super! Greetings from Finland. Watching you a lot!
That’s so kind. Thank you for your lovely words. Hopefully these videos continue to be helpful.
Thank you so much. I appreciate cos I learnt a lot
You are very welcome!
What a great video. Thank you
💕
Thanks really helpful, will watch multiple times! And share with my NCT group
Awesome! Thank you! You might find this video helpful on tummy time as I demonstrate the positions with babies instead of dolls. th-cam.com/video/377j05F4edY/w-d-xo.html
Found amazing you reply everyones message.. Cool... Watching all your videos..our little one turns to 2nd week now.. Started tummy time..✌️ Much loves from India.. 🙏🥰
That is awesome!
I’m a first time mom and just came across your video! So informational! Thank you so much ☺️
Congratulations Jordan on your little ones arrival. So glad you found this video helpful.
@@EmmaHubbard I just started a new routine for my son today. He’s two months old. At his appointment yesterday they said he would probably benefit in wearing a doc band. He favors his right side. I have a CT appointment next week. Very scared/ nervous. So I’ve been researching a lot on tummy time. I love your video! Do you have any other advice? Since he’s only two months I don’t think they will have him wear a helmet just yet. I’ve been thinking about PT. Then again I think I need to just slow down and wait till our CT appointment. Sorry my mom brain is I overdrive. I just want to do what’s best for my son. But I will definitely be practicing all of these tummy time positions. Thank you again ☺️♥️
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?
@@EmmaHubbard Thank you! I definitely need to just take a step back and breathe. I just need to focus on my son and wait till our CT appointment. I am SO looking forward to your video!!! I’ll do my best at staying off google 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you again for your advice & kind words! I really appreciate it ♥️♥️
No worries at all. If you do google (as a parent we all do) just make sure to look at information written by a physiotherapist. Hope everything goes well.

Hi Emma, my four month old is very strong and enjoys tummy time, however he puts his arms out like superman. He can’tid very strong, can lift his legs and head with his arms out and literally looks like an aeroplane. I always try pop his elbows down but he pops them back out. He can keep the superman arms out and reach for a toy but doesn’t rest on his elbows. Any suggestions?
Ps- thank you for this video, it has given reassurance hat I’ve been doing the right things with tummy tome after every wake up and doing it in different areas to keep
It exciting.
Great information indeed tummy time also help when your child you start to prepare him to sit it helps a lot thank you great information.
It's my pleasure!
Great video! Very greatfull for the subtitles but they got in the way once or twice
You can turn them off if you need to 🙂
Fantastic help thankyou
No problem 👍
Thank you for your helpfull video 🎉
It’s my pleasure!
Thank you!mybbaby loves tummy time🙂
Your welcome.
my baby girl has TOF and at 9 months old still absolutely hates tummy time. She cries and rolls to her back almost immediately after I put her in position! I had to keep her off her stomach after her shunt was put in so there was a few months of zero tummy time. Thank you for these very helpful tips, I want to get her as strong as she can be before her next surgery!
Hi Anastasia I hope your little one likes one of these tummy time positions. Sounds like you will do everything needed to get her stronger. You might find the video I did on tummy time where I demonstrate these positions with babies instead of a doll helpful. This is the link to the video th-cam.com/video/377j05F4edY/w-d-xo.html
Ty emma 😘😘🥰🥰
Hi Emma, my grand daughter just 11 days in UK, just going through ur videos, will do as advised by you and make my daughter watch ur videos.
Hi, Emma! Thank you for the video. A question, though: how to teach the baby to roll over from the tummy to the back?
I will release a video on this topic in 2 weeks. It should help
Thanks for the tips. My baby totally don't like tummy time. I will do it again tomorrow.
Hopefully you find a tummy time position your little one likes and it will definitely become easier with practice. Remember even seconds count.
Eat tummy time advice i got was to pop baby down when about to change their nappy, roll them over whilst you prep the nappy and wipe and roll them back over. Getting in alot of tummy time without much effort (as long as they aren't super dirty and crying alot)
Great tip!
I am a new mom and this video was super informative. Thank you so much!
No worries Shayna! Glad you found it helpful. Also congratulations on becoming a mum!!
@@EmmaHubbard thank you so much!
Amazing. Short and too the point. Thanks
Hi Danila glad you found it helpful.
Thanks a lot! Would the baby not throw up if we do Tummy time after feeding?
I'm doing tummy time without even knowing that it's the other tummy time position.😁 Mother's instincts..
Thanks for this vid very informative ♥️👍
You are so welcome!
Atm, my 4mo is having a hard time with the arm propping. He's great at the superman pose. Any tips on encouraging arm use?
Super helpful 👍 I have a 2 week old :)
So glad it helped! Amazing! Congrats 💜
My son loved tummy time. He's 7 months now and pulling himself up to stand.
I started tummy time on the birthing ball because it was difficult to have baby on chest lap or floor while recovering from c section. My 3 weeks old that hates tummy time on. She started to roll from tummy to back at 2 weeks while on the floor and now she just rolls her way out of tummy time every time we are on the floor. Any tips for that? Just keep flipping her back over? She was also holding her head up on day one.
♥️ your videos. Am from India. Can you please make a detailed video how to put a baby in these tummy positions. I am a first time dad and find it difficult & afraid in holding a baby and then putting them in a position.
I’m a first time mom, I’ve been doing tummy time for my son on a boppy pillow, is that also a good way to do tummy time?
oh thanks for this video i might use it to my son coz he is 4months now but he hates tummy time so much!
Hopefully he starts to like tummy time more
I've been wondering whether doing tummy time on a bed counts as doing it on the ground. We have a strong draft on our floor so I'd prefer to keep him on the bed but I also get that the floor provides that strong surface. Any advice?
I’m intrigued as well my baby who’s 12 weeks old hates tummy time on the floor or play mat however, doesn’t mind tummy time on my bed. I wonder if this is ok?
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.
Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanx alot
No worries.
This video is very informative and structured well. The most I like about this video, she shows specifically with picture, video, and using baby doll, which give very clear information. Awesome video! Thanks
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Does anyone have suggestions for our situation? My 1 month old has already figured out how to roll onto his back in both directions. He can fully lift his head/torso but still needs to work on head control so how can I keep him on his tummy? He rolls whether he's on the floor or my chest. Do I just rely on rugby ball for the time being? He likes singing but is quite happy listening on his back thank you very much 😅 and he's not yet interested in toys or books.
Any tips are very welcome!
Having my 6MO, and this video is very helpful
So glad you found it helpful
Love the video ☺️ awesome advice… gravity stays the same though, your physics is a little sketchy 😂💖
Was thinking the exactly the same 😂
Valuable information dear❤.
Can we do tummy time on the bed with a play mat or use a regular pillow?
Hi Emma, my baby falls right to sleep after feeding; he is going to be 3 weeks old. So in this case I presume no tummy time? I find it hard at the moment to find his waking period when he is not fussing or crying.
Awesome video, so helpful! New mom here, new subscriber too hihi ☺️
Hi Lisa congratulations on your little ones arrival. So pleased to hear you found this video helpful. Hopefully you find the information on this channel makes parenting a little easier.
Tummy time gives me a break I sit on the bed watching tv and he try’s to look up at the tv to we both love it he’s 3 months old and looks so cute on his tummy 🙌🏻
Glad your loving tummy time together.
Hi Emma ... my 3 month old granddaughter is trying to lift herself up when lying on her back. She pulls her head up as well as her legs, almost like doing an ab exercise. Almost seems she wants to sit up. Will this help strengthen her neck, instead of tummy time, which I might add she absolutely hates?
They still need tummy time to strengthen other muscles when they’re in the tummy time position.
Congrats on grandma-hood🥰 I am a g’ma of four girls, the youngest being 7 weeks. I know that my children hated tummy time but it does get better over time. Enjoy your g’babies💖
You mention tummy time just after nappy change and eating, but my baby tends to regurgitate shortly after eating (she eats big portions for her age) so I'm afraid to put her on her tummy at that moment. Any advice ?
You could try and do tummy time when she wakes up - this will depend on if she is happy at this time and not too hungry. Otherwise you can wait a while after a feed and see how that goes
My baby spits up a lot but shes been great with tummy time & lifting her head from day 1. Any tips with spit up/burping?
What about when your child is on leg casts? How can you manage tummy time in such an awkward uncomfortable state?
I've been using a tummy time "u" shaped pillow for my lil ones tummy times he's 4 months is this ok or will this not count as tummy time??
Hi !! I have a question , so baby wakes up from the nap and is all hungry ( usually ) so I change diaper and feed and usually he is back to sleep . Now when do I give him a tummy time coz he wakes up cranky mostly
