There is no such recommendation. You should never leave your baby unsupervised while baby is on tummy. It can be done under your supervision to make sure, head to turned to one side, so that baby can breathe easily. Gastric issues and colic pain incidence are less ( when baby is on tummy, they can pass gas rather easily, so they even sleep well). Safest way is put baby on your tummy and you lie down straight and baby's tummy on your tummy and head to one side.
