When to start tummy time

AlishaS

I don't remember when we need to start giving B tummy time.  I thought that I started doing it with P pretty early, but wasnt sure.

We started with both right after the cord stump fell off, so 2-3 weeks.

We were told to start the day we brought DD home from the hospital.  I didn't put her on a hard, flat surface so the umbilical stump was not a problem.  I laid her on my tummy, chest to chest.  We would snuggle like that for 15 minutes at a stretch, throughout the day.  When she was closer to 3-4 weeks old, we were able to put her on her tummy on a blanket on the carpet.

Ha, the only way that ds would sleep was on his tummy. So for him, it was from day one.

I work in a hospital and we recommend a minimum of 45 minutes a day (not all at one time), every day, from the day baby goes home. ?Time to get started

From the day we got home.  We were amazed at DS's crazy neck strength!  I can remember those days so vividly it's hard to believe it's been almost two years!
