most young babies do/ but you have to do it for development of muscles/ do like 3 min at a time and then build it up.As he gets older he will like it/

Finn used to hate it too, now it's a game to him. I put him on his stomach, he immediately rolls over to his back, I flip him back over, he immediately rolls to his back, etc. It is wicked annoying but he thinks it's hilarious.

Our pediatrician said even if they're fussing (and most of them do) to leave them because they'll probably struggle and lift up because they're mad.

Kaylee hates tummy time too so just to make sure she still gets it everyday i'll put her on her tummy on her boppy. She loves it then.

Jenny loves being on her tummy and always has.. But my 1 year old nephew has always *hated* it, ever since he was newborn. It meant he learned to walk before he crawled. It's nothing to be concerned about, every baby is different... He may get used to it and like it eventually, he may not. He'll develop in his own way, so don't worry about it.

Awe finn rolls over, does he ever roll onto his belly? Reese can half roll, he goes onto his side and then flops back onto his back

No, he won't roll from his back to front, he's usually too busy dancing. When he's on his back he can't just lay there, he's always pumping his legs and waving his arms. I think he learned to roll the other way because I put him down on his belly for his nap and he was like "oh, there's my mobile!" and was stretching and trying to turn around to see it and there he went! Now he does it constantly.

All the babies are getting so big!
