Alex hates Tummy Time with a passion. He wants to move and roll over when he's in that position. He winds up getting frustrated and crying over it. A while ago, I was out walking on Mamaroneck Avenue with Alex in the Jeep pocuh, a physical therapist stopped us to see Alex and chat. She told me that Tummy Time on your chest still serves the same purpose as being on a hard surface. Since he loves that most of the time, we do that a lot. I also tote him around in my Jeep carrier daily and he's gaining a lot of head control that way too.
His head control is really good for his age. He was able to roll over in one direction when he was only days old, but he's since lost interest in doing it now. He doesn't have good dexterity in pushing himself up with his arms, but he doesn't appear to try very hard either.
Dr. Glassman said that it's not expected at his current age.
