I started at about 3 weeks old, mainly putting my LO against my chest as I recline on the sofa. Do it some time after a feed (not immediately otherwise vomiting may happen) and when your LO is alert and happy. When the neck gets stronger, then the full tummy time on a mat can be done more often

Hi, Tummy time can be started when the baby is 2-3 weeks old. Start with 5 - 10 minutes initially and then you can increase the duration gradually

About a week, each time not more than 5mins

After 1 week. Just gently roll LO over on the tummy starting with one min then slowly extend the time.
