However, we were placing him on his belly since birth. Neither of my boys initially liked lying on their bellies (they still couldn't read and didn't know they are supposed to find it more comfortable :)) . We started out slowly. We would place them on their bellies, get on their level and play with them, offer toys, talk, laugh, distract them the best we can to start associate this time with fun. Once they didn't mind spending some time on their bellies - offered a toy or a toy-mirror to look-touch-explore. At the first signs of fussing, we would get them off their bellies and try again in few minutes. Eventually, them both learned to enjoy it. Actually, for my second baby, Smiles, it took a lot longer, then for the first one, who could spend almost his entire waking time on his belly at the age of 3 weeks. We used playgym a lot, rotating our babies from bellies to their backs as pancakes on the pan! Our playgym had fun designs, flaps, lights, other interesting things to touch and explore, so that helped too. My older boy, Sunshine, was about 4-5 months old.

I've started my girl this week (she is now 14wks old), but she dislikes being placed belly-down to crawl; and her grasp loosens so quickly when she was offered my thumbs. Did you start with your sons from grasp reflex before arriving at barchiating? Hi Alenka,
