Tummy time again

When did you introduce tummy time to your LO.  Mine is 5 weeks old.  How do you do tummy time?

Started tummy time at 2 weeks.. Pedi told us the sooner we start the easier it will be. We first did tummy time by laying her on our chests. This is still her favorite position but we also put her on the playmat and lie in front of her and she lifts her head and turns it. She's 10 weeks old and the pedi was impressed with how she held her head at her appt yesterday.. Made DH and I proud!

We started a few days ago ( dd will be two weeks tomorrow). I do chest time and a few minutes a couple times a day on the bed or couch.

Do it as soon as you possibly can, trust me. My LO had a very flat spot on his head because we didn't do tummy time until much farther down the road. It's better to start early and get them used to it!

I think a lot of people start it as soon as the umbilical cord falls off.

I have been doing it since 3 weeks and a friend of mine made me feel terrible today for doing so.  My pedi said as long as I felt comfortable I could do anytime.  I usually burp her over my shoulder and she gets plenty that way but I also have been putting her on the play mat and laying on the floor at eye level with her.  I have also thought about getting on of the tummy time play mats as well.

We do tummy time on the pillow. DS refuses to do it on the floor

We started at 2 weeks.  We put him on the activity gym mat and let him stay on his tummy for as long as he can tolerate.  He actually likes it!

I was told to start tummy immediately. In the hospital the nurses said that we should do a minimum of three times a day for about five minutes.

All of this. As soon as the cord falls off, I'd start it. DD has a flat head so we absolutely make sure to do TT. It's hard because she hates it, but I really push it. If a flat head continues sometimes you have to get a protective helmet which I think would be a major PITA.

This is also what I was told. LO is almost three weeks and he seems to enjoy his tummy time. He lifts his head and kicks his little legs. The pic in my sig is from yesterday!

I started 2 days after I came home from the hospital.  The sooner you do it, the better.
