It's been 14yrs since I had my last baby so there's a lot that I've forgotten and that's changed in that time.
My bub is 7 weeks old and I was wondering if tummy time was still a thing and if so when am I meant to start it.
I feel like I'm a first time mum all over again even though I've got 3 teenagers so I'm wondering what else I should be doing with bub and when I should be doing certain things

As soon as they're born is when it's recommended to begin. Just a few seconds here and there and build up from there. Even if it's just on your chest after a BF or cuddles or skin to skin time. After you've changed their nappy, roll them over for a little. After a bath, give them a massage and let them have a lay down.
I thought I wasn't doing enough (I'm a FTM) but my little guy had good head control from the get go it seemed so really excelled with tummy time. Absolutely hated it though lol

my little one always likes to lay on my chest after a bottle

Start straight away. I loved the Tummy Time fawn by Vtech. It’s really helped my little one.

I've never heard of that

thank you

Thank you everyone
I went and got a Vtech tummy time pillow today

yay! Hope your little one enjoys it! 😊
