I think that it is good to give him all of the tummy time that he will allow; it strengthens all of the muscles that he will use for sitting, crawling, etc. It also increases eye hand coordination. Some babies don't like being on their tummy very much; in those cases, you just have to let them be unhappy for a little bit while they stretch those muscles.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962345624688987734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323643995887361497.post-43399632010837498962009-11-06T19:55:42.218-08:002009-11-06T19:55:42.218-08:00One thing I did to practice sitting was to just si...One thing I did to practice sitting was to just sit Nathan places with something behind him (couch, cushions etc). Another thing I did was sit him in my lap and hold his hands. I would let him lean back and help him sit up, over time making him work harder to pull himself up ;) I also have some exercises that help for rolling over if you want ;)Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355294991395270004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323643995887361497.post-46313613494242072892009-11-06T09:17:12.291-08:002009-11-06T09:17:12.291-08:00Is it a bumbo seat?

Oh well...maybe I'll get one for the next kid.<br /><br />Karl and I have a baby play station you guys can have as soon as James is ready! I think we started using it when Camryn was four months old--she was too little to sit up on her own, so I rolled up a few baby blankets and tucked them around her so she'd stay upright. She LOVED it! We'll clean it up and send it down your way one of these days!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200518427119344743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323643995887361497.post-43416476970437385112009-11-05T13:14:19.324-08:002009-11-05T13:14:19.324-08:00He's so cute I can't even handle it. Elli...He's so cute I can't even handle it. Ellie's working on her tummy time too, but she tends to spit up half her food if I leave her on her tummy for too long. But she did roll over yesterday (but not since, she's a one time wonder).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518724446714428045noreply@blogger.com
