How long tummy time for 2 months old

Hi mummies, how long should i do tummy time for my 2 months old baby? He’s still not able to lift his head and would cry murder every tummy time which lasted 2-3 mins only. How many times a day and how long each session. Any other ways to tummy time other than flat on tummy on bed or floor. Ive tried putting black white cards infront bt he can’t lift his head to look at it yet. If baby cry murder should i stop or leave him. However when i carry him over shoulder he likes to lift his head off my shoulder. Is that considered as strengthening his neck too? #firsttimemom #pleasehelp

Tummy time shouldn't be too long at all. As they are still trynna learn to lift up their head and strengthening their neck, etc. So it should be atleast once or twice a day and for short period. However it is normal they cry as they are uncomfortable. But when you lift them up and put on your shoulder they tend to move or lift the head. I did tummy time for my kids at 3/4 months onwards. Most of the time shoulder rest.
