Try changes: Maybe too hard / too soft / bad angle? Try on pillow vs on firm floor and see if any change in 'tude. Also, try with an uphill (head-up) incline. See if any of these or combo help. If not, talk w/pediatrician.

Try but don't worry: We encourage tummy time for infants to help build the upper arm strength needed to roll over & push up.I think a lot of this is based on trying to meet motor milestones that were standardized in the 60's and 70's when kids belly slept.I'm not aware of any similar study of backslept babies.I would not loose sleep if baby hated tummy time. In the end they will catch up.
