Tummy time

hi,
when is it appropriate to start tummy time? My little guy is 4 weeks today and almost 7 pounds. My pediatrician said to wait til he's 10 pounds but everything I read says to start from day 1.

Re: Tummy time

  • My pediatrician said to start right away. I waited until the umbilical cord came off though. She is 2 weeks. 
  • Oh yeah, my little one was 6 lbs 12 oz at birth

  • My pediatrician and the nurses in the hospital said to start right away too and baby was 6 pounds at birth. She also said that when burping on my shoulder can count also if baby is trying to pick her head up and move it around.  They said to start for only a minute or so in the beginning and work up the time as baby gets older each week. 
  • I was also told we can start right away
  • We have done it everyday since we got home.

  • We were told we could start tummy time right away as well. (DD was 6lbs 5oz at birth) I only have her on the floor for about 5 mins when doing it currently.
