It's clear she still doesn't like it. We were taught to put a rolled towel underneath, and push her elbows in to help her practice pushing herself up. Clearly, her hands don't have the muscle tone for this yet. She can raise her head once or twice, and then tires. But it's a start. Hopefully, with time, and practice, this gets easier for her.

Hold Your Head Up Part II

Bravo, Vera! You can do it! Proud of you.
love, aunty shuhui
this reminds me of kaiya's earlier days...she HATED being put on her tummy! do you put the socks on her hands so she doesn't pull out the tube?
Yes, her index fingers are hooked, common T18 feature, so they tend to hook the feeding tube. Once she pulled it out the stomach end but the tube still plastered in place!
