Hates tummy time

Did everyone start this from day one? My 5.5 week old hates it. Any tips? We have a baby boppy pillow that goes under her chest but she kicks herself forward and off of it. We've tried with and w/o it and she does a little better with it.

we started pretty much right away..maybe when he was a week old?  he doesn't tolerate it for long, but every time gets longer.

DS hates it EXCEPT when he lies on my chest.......he tries to lift his head way more when lying stomach down on my chest.  We still do tummy time each day, but I think his neck strength will come more from time lying on me.

our pedi said for the first 6 wks tummy time on your belly is fine. then we did it a few times on the floor and he hated it, the 2n dor 3rd time we did it he rolled over and continues to ever since 2 mos. he lifts his head so high up and the rolls, he never just relaxes on the floor, he hates his belly.

mine never ever liked it. but he did hold his head up when he was on me or being held over my shoulder..just the last two days has he really enjoyed participating in traditional tummy time for more than 1 minute..
