When can we start doing tummy time for young babies?

You can start tummy time during Day 1. I started my babies' tummy time by placing them on my chest. Subsequently, I moved baby to do tummy time on the bed. How Much Tummy Time and When: http://www.babble.com/baby/tummy-time-101/ The current recommendation for time on the tummy is approximately 30 minutes a day, either all at once or broken up into short segments ranging from a few minutes to longer. Engage Baby in tummy time when she’s content and alert. It is important not to insist on it if she’s fussy: Forcing the issue will cause Baby to negatively associate this tummy time with being unhappy. Try again later when Baby is calm and willing.
