A member asked:
2 months old baby hates tummy time since the day she was born, would she be able to crawl later if she refuses to go on tummy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep trying: Some babies do not like tummy time and that is okay. As she gets older (closer to 4 months of age), her head control will be better. At this age she may be able to enjoy tummy time better. None of this should limit her crawling ability.
