2-month-old baby tummy time duration? Everyone around me says something different.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

For a 2-month-old, tummy time is about frequency, not quantity — a few times a day, aiming for a few minutes total daily. Starting with 30-60 seconds at a time is fine; you can gradually increase to 2-3 minutes based on your baby's response. Use a flat surface (like a thin blanket over firm ground), never a soft mattress or pillow.

Since everyone says different things, here's the real guideline: what matters at this age is your baby's comfort — if they're crying or can't lift their head, don't push it; keep it short and try often. By the end of month 2, you might reach 3-5 minutes per session, aiming for 15-20 minutes daily total.
