My baby hates being on their stomach!

Postnatal, Your questions

Marie, Hugo, my eight-month-old baby, can’t stand being on his stomach. He screams and expects that I will go pick him up. Is he taking too long to learn this? Can you help?

Josiane

Josiane, I think that you are right feeling a bit concerned. I have written articles about baby motor development during their first year. There are also educational files that suggest activities you can do to stimulate their learning process. Please read Infant Motor Development for more information.
