But, he doesn't push up on extended arms, he stays on his elbows. And he commando crawls. Because of this, he is also can't get into the sitting position, although he's been sitting independently since 5 months adjusted. He occassionally gets up on his knees, but stays down on his elbows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449872527401039590.post-16187097184485706722009-07-20T00:35:33.412-04:002009-07-20T00:35:33.412-04:00Awesome, awesome blog.

We've been home from the hospital for a week and a day and are already doing tummy time according to her hospital PT. (they did tummy time there.) We're doing skin to skin at the moment, but she is on her tummy on my chest and during her awake times she is lifting her head to check things out, no different than my other 2. <br /><br />Having had reluctant tummy timer, full term baby who never did crawl (she's 8 yrs now) I'm always seeking ways to make sure the rest of my kids do crawl! LOL! (though her scooting was cute!) and also trying to give my Preemie a good physical start.<br /><br />For reluctant ones, that are still young, our hospital PT suggested try "Tummy Time On You!" Basically put the baby on your chest while you sit upright and encourage them to look around. As they raise their head more, increase your recline over weeks until you are lying on your back and they are pushing up! Then transition to the bed (a kind of ledge if you will) so they can still look and play with you! Then gradually transition to the floor and play there too.Grumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093109838933716027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449872527401039590.post-57127343175476291462009-03-08T19:09:00.000-04:002009-03-08T19:09:00.000-04:00Jen,Thst is great news.

But I am having a hard time with him on his tummy. Sadly, I admit I didn't realize the need for tummy time and when he hated it so much I would only do it for 5 or 10 minutes a day. Now I know better, so I will put him on his tummy often but he almost immediatly rolls over on to his back. I can never get him to stay on his tummy for any length of time. He is no where near crawling at this point, though he can sit for very long periods of time on his own. Do you have any suggestions of what I can do to get him to stay on his tummy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449872527401039590.post-79236908028331393562009-02-18T10:21:00.000-05:002009-02-18T10:21:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for the suggestions--I will try ...Thank you so much for the suggestions--I will try it today and let you know how it goes!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343740461237832096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449872527401039590.post-65381714700978146022009-02-17T18:52:00.000-05:002009-02-17T18:52:00.000-05:00Jen,Thank you for your comment.

One thing you might try is to roll up a towel tightly and place it under his arms and across his chest. The towel roll should be big enough to give him some support but small enough so that his elbows are on the floor. Tuck his elbows under his body and give him something to look at. This may be a good starting position for him.<BR/><BR/>Please let me know how it works.<BR/><BR/>VickieVickie Dakin, PThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284691305557661939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449872527401039590.post-5289980693639260752009-02-17T17:56:00.000-05:002009-02-17T17:56:00.000-05:00I had a preemie at 31w6d.

BTW, my little one is now 4 months old. I have another child and at 2 months (my baby boy's current adjusted age) she was able to lift her head and shoulders off the floor for several minutes at a time. My boy cannot do that; he cannot even lift his forehead off the floor. <BR/>Anytime I try tummy time with him (on the floor with a thin blanket under him), he pushes his face into the blanket and curls toward the floor. Sometimes I can get him to turn his head to the side, but before long it's back in the floor. <BR/>I have tried to help him lift it to show him what it feels like. I can be on the floor in front of him, sing songs, show him toys, etc., but he just doesn't seem able to figure it out. <BR/>Any suggestions?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343740461237832096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449872527401039590.post-87061338392415680752009-02-01T18:34:00.000-05:002009-02-01T18:34:00.000-05:00Thank you so much.
