    We have three boys and they were all different. The oldest hated tummy time–no matter what we did. I think part of it was because his neck muscles took a while to develop so lifting his head was difficult at first. He got over it. We basically just kept trying and didn’t force the issue. Eventually, he got into it on his own. Playing with them is a good tip there. Distraction methods are effective for a lot of things. His mom always had more luck with it than I did (http://utterdadness.com/2016/03/30/potty-training-a-religious-experience/).

    Some great tips there. Thanks!
