ASAP so that your LO can gain head control and you can prevent plagiocephaly.

I read that you should wait 2 weeks, and that is when we started. He didn't like it at first, but I started wearing him and that counts as tummy time, too.

We started right away when I would burp him on my chest. I didn't actually put him down on a mat until a week or 2.

I was told it was okay to start any time after the umbilical stump fell off. My LO is 2.5 weeks and still has his but the doc thinks it's about to come off. Being on their tummy can irritate the area before it comes off. Other people's docs may have said other things but that's what mine said.

We started pretty soon after coming home - usually 2-5 minute sessions 2-4x a day.

On a play mat about when she was 1.5 weeks old.

She spends a lot of time being worn or on our chests/shoulder and she works out her neck a ton in those positions so I think that counts for something.

After her stump fell off. She LOVES tummy time and will spend 20-30 minutes doing it!

This. The pedi told us at her 1 month check up to start tummy time.

We did tummy to tummy time and baby wearing for the first 4 weeks, and I've just started laying him down on his tummy for tummy time. I don't time it or keep count since he easily spends hours each day not on his back.
