Does Spine Of An Infant Affects By Sitting Instead Of Sleeping?

Hello. My baby is 3 months and healthy, but I worry that I never put in on his tummy enough. Now when I do he is fuzzy and get panicky because he doesn t know how to relax his head and thinks he needs to hold it up all the time. Also he has been sitting a lot in his baby bjorn bouncy chair since he was 6 weeks. I do have a flat pram though andhe is sleeping in a flat cot half the night and rest of the night in my bed. I am worried that he has been sitting to much in his bouncy chair instead of lying on his tummy. Can this affect his spine?

normally baby can sit with support with straight back from 4 months age.. there will be no harm to the spine if you make your baby to sit in bouncer. make sure that the baby is comfortable wherever he was placed.
