Tummy Time

Lydia isn't too fond of tummy time as you can see from the video. I think the longest she has lastest on her tummy is about 2 minutes. As you can see, she is developing a flat spot on her head from being on her back all the time. I'm trying to position her head different ways when I put her to sleep, but she always ends up back in the same position that she started in. Tummy time is important because it helps babies strengthen neck muscles that they will need for crawling. It also helps them get ready to push up, roll over, sit up, and eventually stand. We try tummy time a few times a day for as long as Lydia will last.
