Do your babies get cranky with tummy time?

My son is 6 weeks old and everytime I attempt to give him his tummy time he gets so mad and red faced. It's like he is frustrated because he can't get his arms up to support the rest of his body and move yet. Does anyone else have a wee one that gets mad during tummy time?

Mine was the same way until she turned about 3 months. She's now 6 months and tummy time is still not her favorite thing, but she can be on her tummy longer than before.

My daughter HATED tummy time with a passion. I finally put her in front of a mirror on her belly and that seemed to help her. I also laid her on her tummy on her changing table which helped her start enjoying it more. Good Luck :)

Yup. My daughter didn't really start liking tummy time until around 5 months old. I think what you're experiencing is pretty normal.
