Why a Baby Hates Tummy Time - What to Do About It
Jul 01, 2022
Difficulty in tummy time is an early warning sign for movement deviations.
A baby can hate tummy time because of...
- Reflux,
- A Heavy Head
- Lacks Rotational Movements in the Spine and/or Pelvis
- or a Stiff Ribcage
A baby should enjoy tummy time and have a nice sweeping of the nose back and forth as the baby is playing with movements that create functional rolling over, crawling, and walking.
If a baby's tummy time is unsuccessful for any reason it's likely the child will have difficulty in later milestones; either they will be awkward, delayed, or not happen at all.
Milestones should never be skipped, and if a baby is unable to perform those movements due to medical complications, birth trauma, or lack of movement in the body, Movement Lesson will help you put the Milestone Momentum back in your baby.
