I’m not sure what the current recommendations you’d get from your doctor would be but you don’t actually have to do tummy time at all if you don’t want to, so there isn’t really a minimum amount. Babywearing (carrying a baby in a sling or baby carrier) can be a good alternative. I didn’t do tummy time with my second bub and he turned out just fine.
I think a little bit a couple of times a day. My boys were fine and loved it. They did about 10minutes a couple of times a day. My daughter, now 5 months, hates it! She screams instantly and is a clingy little miss. She is slowly getting better and her best is about 5 minutes. Because she hates it I forget to give it to her some days but keep saying I will do it a few times a day!
5-10 mins each time for about 3 times. Start slowly… Each babies are different though…There is no rule. If your baby likes tummy time then by all means have it as much as you like!
There is no set rule. Do what fits in with you schedule and you own intuition on how baby feels. Sometimes they love tummy time and other times they are not in the mood.
Our little girl hated tummy time. We’d do tummy time on our chest instead until she was more comfortable with doing tummy time on her own. She’s now 11 months (8 months corrected) and loves tummy time!
