I left my son sleeping on my bed at this age, and was in the living room with my sister watching TV. My queen sized bed was against the wall in my room (I had no money for a crib and was a single mom). That lil booger made his way over a body pillow i had him blocked in with, all the way across the queen bed, and fell off! I couldn't believe it! He was fine, but that was scary.
To help with cranial development and muscularskelatal development. Pediatricians recommend this because it prevents flat head and a baby from developing torticolis. If parents don't do this, the baby will end up in a helmet for 6 months.
Supervised tummy time is important because it helps to: Strengthen baby's neck, shoulder, and arm muscles so the baby can start to sit up, crawl, and eventually walk on their own. Improve baby's ability to move and control their muscles to complete various actions (sometimes called “motor skills”)
She is only 2 weeks old. I heard her pass gas in this video. She is gassy and if the bimbo Starung at her would just pick her up and caress her tummy and bring her knees to her tummy and help release some gas, i think the baby would be more content. Babies need to be held at 2 weeks damnt! Just because they might be ready to crawl does not mean those ligaments and muscles are ready too. Why don't they start teaching CRT at tummy time while they are at it.
@@sharijohnson3460 Exactly - I agree rather than “staring” at newborn the baby needs to be picked up and assisted with passing uncomfortable gas. Some people would rather sit there recording rather than caring for their babies. So, Yes I agree - the adults need to assist. Whew poor little baby all stressed is never a good thing.
It helps the baby if you put light pressure with your hand on their lower back or bottom that way it assists with the uneven weight bc their head weighs more than their body and limbs, without taking away from their strength and muscle growth🥰
I don't like tummy time, babies get to frustrated and upset, they should be on there back that way they see everything, I've had 4 children, my oldest is 25 and youngest is 18 and i never did this with mine and they were walking by 10 months onwards, I was told by health visitors/nurses that they can suffocate if can't lift there little heads for to long. She's a beautiful little girl xx
Absolutely no need for TT. Sooner or later, all babies do roll over on their own. The same applies to 'teaching' little ones to sit up, crawl, walk, etc. Let them do these things at their own pace. What's the rush?
It isn't! She needs to be held and while mom gently rubs her lower belly and release some gas! She is not thinking or frustrated from tummy time.. She is wanting comfort cause she is gassy and it really hurts. Didnt you ever have really sharp gas pain and sometimes it hurt so bad it was scarey? Well think how this 14 day old child feels. She needs to be held and her tummy caressed or her knees brought to her chest to release gas. She isn't crying from frustrated inability to crawl......that is a painful cry from gas and she is kicking because of it. The da da da sounds aren't her sounds....those are from her sister to the left of video. I only heard this neglected baby cry. This flat head theory came right off the same library shelf as covid and masks. Do your research. I'm 55 years old and have had 2 of my own children and never have I ever heard of flat head.....only waking up with my hair like that! I am.not saying it doesn't occur but what is the agenda behind this?. Pushing tummy time on newborns? Really?? Cant wait til they are 1 full month? Or 6 weeks? Bad enough they will be stuck with strangers at daycare . Then 5 years we will find out that this will cause crippling diseases due to forcing ligaments and muscles to strengthen faster than their molecular counterparts. Thus, massive deformities and law suits. Sound familiar? I think tummy time is a good activity that actually is just a small part of activities that I use to do with my kids since they were babies. They just make money off of it now.
Just wondering, how do you know it’s gas? Just because your baby has gas, doesn’t mean that this baby does. She is obviously frustrated from tummy time, which is a very normal reaction. It is not uncommon for babies to cry during tummy time. It just seems to be a large assumption just from watching a baby have a very normal reaction to tummy time. I think the parents would notice if she’s crying over tummy time or something else. If it were something, she’d be crying when she’s not in tummy time as well. I know you’re trying to help and it’s very kind of you so I don’t mean this to come off rude and I apologize if I do sound a little rude, but it’s just a very normal reaction to tummy time. So it’s a big assumption to say that she’s crying from gas.
@@_kikizaman_ I do not know 100% for sure but I have raised 2 of my own children and have been a nanny for many more and have alot of CNA/NURSING/Clinical lab technology /HEALTH SCIENCES IN my background and I currently am a nanny for triplets since they were 2 months old.
I do not understand why babies now a days cries and hate to be in their tummies. Back when the babies were born in the older days, the babies was on their backs, sides, tummies and they never cried because if being whatever side they were on. Why does the babies now days have to only be on their backs and not on their stomachs and sides. I’m just curious why babies don’t like to be on their stomach and they cry because of being on their stomach.
@@a.harrison3721 Do not agree. Please do not resort to name calling.I guess we can disagree. As well as having my own children grandchildren,I understand that is your opinion. I would never disrespect you. Take heed I do not appreciate your disrespectful attitude. However you are entitled to your opinion and I wish you the very best..
@@patriciabennett1819 We did not do this, this early on with our two children and they've turned out great! Every child reaches THEIR own milestones (doctors have ranges to work with) at their own pace. I agree with your opinion. We trusted our instincts and with careful observation, introduced 'play time' as our kids showed us when they were ready. It was overall a happy and fun time for them (lol except for the odd spit up). Parents who choose to go it a little slower then what, in fact, does seem like a trend thing, should not be bullied for their choice. I look forward to seeing if it does make a marked difference in the child's development in order to justify their discomfort. I believe the most important thing when starting them off so young is not to leave them at it for too long nor with their face pressed down.
It prevents flat head and torticolis. Have you ever seen a baby with a gigantic helmet? It is because this was not done and the helmet had to correct the mishapen head. Babies don't like this, but it really helps.
@@patriciabennett1819 well don’t be rude and disrespectful on someone’s video of their child. I’m tired of these old ladies clogging up the comment section with their holier than thou advice on how THEY raised their kids. It’s rude and no one cares. Mind your own business.
Omg the way they wouldent help her with the little left arm down annoyed me so badly,thats why she was annoyed somewhat they need to be shown once, just saying from a mom and grandma
If you moved them when they don’t like the way they laying, by giving the baby, some supervised Independence, that will lead up to getting, the baby, to a point, they will, try to roll over, make the weak muscles more. Stronger !
If you don't do tummy time early, despite their protest, they will get torticolis and a flat head......then the baby will look silly in those helmets they have to wear to reshape their head. Nobody wants the baby to cry, but this is for their own good and development. 5 mins of tummy time 4 times a day will help!
Up until about 25 years ago, we put babies on their tummies to sleep. We were told, 40 years ago, that it was safer, that if they spit up there was less chance of aspiration. As far as neck strength, if they are lifting their heads on their own, they are strong enough! I do know that putting them to sleep on their side is better.
