Tummy time

When are you supposed to start doing tummy time? My son is two weeks and has already stared lifting his head at two days old. So should I already be doing it?

There is no set time. Most people start when the umbilical cord has fallen off.

I started floor tummy time when his cord fell off, chest to chest before that which counts as tummy time.

I've been laying my son on my chest since birth. But ive been laying him on the floor on a blanket for the last couple weeks. He's 9 weeks old. And he pushes himself straight in the air now.

my son hated and refused to do tummy time until about 5-5 1/2 months old. idk why because he was always able to hold his head up, but he just hated being on his tummy. now he loves it.
