Tummy Time Question

OK, so DD is 2 months....When I place her on the mat I notice that if I don't put both her arms forward she can't move one arm to the front to push herslef up....on the other hand if I place her with both hands forward she can...should she be able to move her arm forward??
Does this make sense??

Re: Tummy Time Question

IMO way too little to have the strength to do that.

She's loved tummy time since the second we tried it....well love is a strong word, she doesn't seem opposed to it, and doesn't scream so I'm happy Chat Icon

Sounds good to me! DS hates tummy time with a passion...I'm sure some of you on LI have heard the screaming all the way from up here in CT!

Re: Tummy Time Question

Your daughter is doing well for her age with tummy time. Don't worry about her arms right now.

It's great that she loves it!

Re: Tummy Time Question

No, you have to set up their arms - it's not just a strength issue, it' a motor planning issue as well - even if she were strong enough, she is not aware enough of her body to figure out what needs to move where. She will be uncomfortable and not really know what to do to figure out how to situate herself....

Re: Tummy Time Question

we put on DS on his tummy at least a half hour a day. He's 5.5 weeks old and can't not push himself up (his neck is up and sorta one arm). He's not moving his hands forward yet.

WTG for your little one
