What age do you start tummy time

When should I start putting DS on his tummy for tummy time. I tried today and he just mushed his little face into the mat and then cried.

How do I get him started if I should be doing this now. He is 4 weeks old.

They say to start right away. 4 weeks old is fine to start for a few minutes a day and then build it up over time.

I started when DD was about a week old-it didn't last more than a few mins at that time though

I started around 4 weeks also. She hated it and would only last a few minutes, gradually, they get used to it and stay on their tummy a little longer.

Right away. My baby likes it most of the time. It's really neat to see him make movements that look like early attempts to crawl.
