Pediatrician told me tummy time is not necessary.

I'm sorta confused now, I told him how my baby hated it & he just said he doesn't have to do it. But every single place I read it's a must. So I feel like if maybe I don't do it, he won't progress as much as other two month olds. Or will he? I hate hearing him scream from how much he hates it. Do any of you moms not do it ?
