Question about using a boppy for tummy time
At DD's 2 mo appt, the doctor that saw us said we should be seeing more progress with DD's head control and lifting it when on her stomach. Admittedly, I haven't been too good so far about doing tummy time with her. That said, she can control her head pretty well when we hold her upright or she rests on our chests.
I know you can use the boppy for tummy time but I'm not sure how to place her on it. Every picture or youtube video I have seen seems to have a different placement. Should her head hang over the pillow, i.e., not be on it, or should we place her so that her head/chin can rest on the pillow?
Thanks for any suggestions. I'm just kicking myself for not being more diligent about doing TT every day with her from birth.

Re: Question about using a boppy for tummy time
I really only used the boppy once. As you can see (picture in Keira's album), I wasn't all that successful. I preferred putting DD in her gym.

I would prop his arms up and have him hold his head up. Let me see if I can find a picture

We did the same thing- put it like under his armpits.
