At six months she should be close to sitting up. Spend time sitting her up (with you behind her) in front of a mirror. Just be careful to make sure the mirror is safe and secure. Also if you lay down in front of her during tummy time, you might be able to entertain her with songs, peek a boo, toys, or a book. Just make sure you are eye to eye with her.

Some suggestions:

Try starting with shorter periods of tummy time - maybe even two or three minutes a day.

Lay on your back and lay your baby down on her tummy on your chest.

Lay her on a tummy time play mat with some age appropriate toys to play with, especially once she has some upper body strength to actually reach for and play with them.

Prop her chest up with a pillow.

Get down on the floor with your baby and talk or sing to her

If you can't distract her with that, a toy, and some baby talk, and he continues to scream chances are it's actual pain. Get a second opinion from another doc.

It's a girl. Only girls have stomics. Boys have pernises.
