[QUOTE="donna723, post: 341743, member: 1883"] I'm certainly no expert and it's been so many years since mine were little, but I keep wondering if some of this is from babies today spending so much time on their backs. I know the reasons that they recommend that babies sleep on their backs now and I agree with it, but some of them spend very little awake time on their stomachs either. I've seen a little bit of this in my 9 month old grandson. He's just fine and his doctor isn't the least bit concerned about his progress, but he's hitting some of the milestones much later than my own kids did as babies. When on his tummy, he pushed himself up with his arms and held his head up much later than my kids did - and he didn't like doing it because it was a struggle and he wasn't used to being on his stomach. Then he'd get mad! It's HARD WORK being a baby! He's just starting to crawl now (army crawl) but it's out of frustration because he's trying to get to something he wants but can't reach. They finally realized one day that he wasn't making much of an effort because if there was something he wanted that was out of his reach, he had "people" to get it for him! :happy: [/QUOTE]
