You can start from birth. You can begin by putting your baby on the tummy on a flat but soft surface for about 10 to 20 seconds or until your baby cries/fuss. You can also do tummy time by placing your baby belly-down on your chest or your lap. Do it everyday and slowly increase the time. By 3 months, they should be able to do tummy time for about 20-30 minutes or more. But if you don’t feel comfortable, you can start tummy time after your baby turns 1 month when baby is more sturdy.

My baby is 11 days old. Don't mind sharing what's your feeding like. Mine always crying for milk. And I am worried I might over feed. Thanks

Oh OK.. Mine is on full formula. I give 60 ml 2 hrly. Sometimes she will sleep. But most of the time she will cry for additional milk.
