Short periods: Try putting her on her tummy on a firm surface for short periods while she's awake. Get down in front of her, so she needs to raise her head slightly to see you. Talk with her or play with her. Use a bright toy for her to look up at. When she starts getting fussy, you can change her position, but keep trying several times a day. She'll start to get used to it and enjoy it more.

Give it time: She's had a lot happen to her in the last 3 weeks. In the next few weeks try it 1-2 x/day and eventually she will respond. There are so many changes she's going through that she is looking for sameness and stability Give that to her and try tummy time after 2 more weeks
