Tummy Time...

How long does everyone put their twins on their stomach?

Do you have one mat or two?

Do you put the mat on the floor or bed?

by the way, I think Bridget & Alanna, think this is Torture TimeChat Icon

Re: Tummy Time...

I try and do at least 15 minutes twice a day. I put the mat on the floor. I have two mats, one big and one small, they both fit in the bigger mat. My girls hate it also, but they need to do it. Good luck!

I do it once in the morning, once in the evening about 10-15 minutes each. They scream and cry and sometimes they actually seem to enjoy it. I have 2 activity gyms and a big activity blanket that I LOVE. That accommodates both of them with plenty of room.

Re: Tummy Time...

I do it twice a day for about 10-15 minutes, they dont mind it, but after the 15 minutes is up, they get cranky.
We have 1 mat.

Re: Tummy Time...

After each of their feedings I try to put them flat on me for about 10 minutes and they lift their heads.

Then about two other times a day I put them in either the boppy - where the look at something I put in front of them, like the play gym or a light up toy, or I'll put them right on the activity mat - for about 10-15 mins.

For so long I was afraid to put them flat b/c of their acid reflux, that's why we use the boppy. Works well too because they can see more and they don't get so frustrated with it.
