Swimming/super baby position

My baby is 15 weeks and so far he’s been doing tummy time but he doesn’t love it. After 5 minutes he will start crying and prefers to be sitting or on his back. He caught a cold and is just starting to get better but for the last few days he cries hysterically when on tummy time and goes to a swimming/super hero position with his arms lifted Is this normal? How can I encourage him to keep his arms on the ground? Thanks xx

Not sure about the screaming but sure I read somewhere that the swimming position is normal and is like one of the first signs of learning to roll....I might be wrong but I'll try and find it ... but ye my little one also only last around 5 minutes on tummy time and apparently that's also completely normal ....doctor said she's yet to meet a baby who likes tummy time xx

I think it can be part of their development for some, but my LO always used to do this. Follow pediatricptmentor on insta. She has a video on this. I feel like it really helped my LO.
