Tummy time: You have several options. Make sure you're not doing it right after feeding - that can be uncomfortable. Try breaking the time into 2-4 short little episodes daily. She may tolerate that better. Finally, it's okay to skip it for a few weeks if it's just making her angry/upset. In a few weeks things will change again and then she may tolerate it just fine again. Do other development activities!

Go with the flow: Tummy time is a good way to get baby to develop more upper body strength but I see no need to fight them over it.I think we try to push baby to meet developmental milestones that were developed in the 60's when they all slept on their bellies.Not realistic to me. Enjoy baby & try to coax her to try new things but the skills will come.You don't need to be frustrated all the time to meet this goal
