When to do tummy time

My baby is 5 days old, is it ok to start on tummy time ? If yes, whens the best time ? He’s feeding on 3 hourly, and most of the time he would just sleep after feeding. For this when’s the best timing to do the tummy time ? In between feeding? #FTM #firstbaby

I started since day 1 (in hospital). Most people would do it 1-1.5 hours after feeding or when baby wakes up. I personally do tummy time 30-45 mins after baby feeds because she will self burp while on tummy time (if I burp her after feeding, she won’t burp). I will also do tummy time after shower/wipe down before bed.
