Some babies really hate tummy time. If yours is one, I suggest the following method for sneaking it in:
- hold your baby upright
- hug her close
- lean back on the couch
If I described it correctly, you should be reclined with the baby resting on you. This cheater version of tummy time is called “mummy” time and it also allows for basic cuddling and a new twist on getting spit up on.

Hee hee — a new twist on getting spit up on! So true. I do this sneaky trick as well. It’s great when you’re tired.
This is the only way my daughter will sleep sometimes. Only on my husband, though, I think she likes the extra… ah, padding?
