Tummy Time
I feel like a first time mom again cause its been 6 years since i have had a newborn..... But when should I start tummy time?? My LO will be 1 month on Christmas. I mean shes been doing it on my chest but not on the floor yet.

Definitely start now. 1 month (or even sooner) is a good time to slowly introduce baby to being on their tummy and to strengthen their core. I only did it for maybe 3 mins at a time when my dd was a month only. Doesn't have to be long or very often during the day.
My doctor suggested that her laying on my chest at a month old wasn't enough for her to build her core so that's roughly when I started. Also dd hated it lol

I personally wait for the floor until they have good neck control. I do it on my belly or propped up until then.

You can and should start tummy time right away. Dd only did it on my chest for the longest time though. I beleive it counts as tummy time.
