And he doesn't seem to do much. He doesn't roll over, his mom hasn't started him on baby cereal yet, and he's still just sort of loafing around.
A big part of the problem is that he doesn't get any floor time. If he gets put down, he screams and cries until he gets picked up. Given that this chunk weighs 20 or so pounds, this can be quite exhausting for me. I hurt my back pretty bad yesterday picking him up. And now I can't bend over. He needs to learn how to be happy on the floor, because he needs to learn how to move, and I need to not strain my back everyday.
So, mommies out there, any tips on how to get this rolly polly boy to move?
My little butterball.
whoa, what a big boy! my 1-year old only weighs 18lbs!
ReplyDeletehave you tried using a boppy during tummy time? my daughter preferred being propped up on that (with her arms over the pillow) - helped her get used to the tummy-time experience. other than that, you have to just keep trying, a few minutes a day and he'll eventually get used to it.
