Tummy time for 2 weeks old

I tried to do tummy time for my 2 weeks old baby for a minute or so while waiting to change his diaper or wipe down but he hates it, keep crying and doesn’t lift his head. Is it normal ? Usually around which week will babies able to lift their head ? And is it normal for them to cry during tummy time like theyre struggling. I put him on changing mat, with both hands folded below his chest

there's no hurry mummy.. my baby started doing it around the 3 months mark and he eventually got used to it. dont worry too much and just go with the flow. if baby doesn't seem to like it, you can reduce the time spent on tummy or try again in 2 weeks time.
