Dh just called and said he had just heard from his Aunt who is a nurse practitioner that babies do still need to sleep on their back but any other time that they are awake they need to be on their tummy or they will start regressing and their are important things to their development that they don't learn if they do not spend all this time on their stomached. So Elyse (4 months old) is trying to get use to this today. (she hates being on her tummy) but I am so afraid that if she is spending all this time on her tummy she can't be under her gym and learning to reach for things and if she is under her gym or on her tummy she is not spending time with me and therefor not learning to interact with people. She is not awake enough during the day to do all of this and I am afraid she is going to be behind in something. How do you find the balance?

I could be wrong and I think if you are unsure, you should ask your ped and find out.
