Tummy time for 2 weeks old

I tried to do tummy time for my 2 weeks old baby for a minute or so while waiting to change his diaper or wipe down but he hates it, keep crying and doesn’t lift his head. Is it normal ? Usually around which week will babies able to lift their head ? And is it normal for them to cry during tummy time like theyre struggling. I put him on changing mat, with both hands folded below his chest

Baby is only two weeks. Don’t rush into it. Do take some time for both yourself and the baby. I did mine slowly when baby is more comfortable and not too early. Placed toys and some other items infront so that baby enjoys the short tummy time. And also during back massages after shower.
