Hi, my baby is 6 months old. As soon as I place him on tummy he cries. He hates time time . He was doing okay before he used to stay a bit longer on tummy like 20 min. But now he is not even okay with 1 min. He cries till we place him on his back. This is happening since 3 weeks. How can I encourage my baby to do tummy time. He is not even starting moving on his tummy as he is not wanted to be on his tummy. Please help
