when will he be able to feel it?

I've been feeling my baby move alot lately, and every time I mention that it's moving my boyfriend puts his hand on my belly and tried to feel it. We both know that it's too early for him to feel, but I feel so bad because he's
clearly disappointed and wants to feel it too.  I'm 17weeks, at what week do you think he'll be able to feel anything?

I'm 23+6wks and feeling movement since a couple weeks but my bf isn't able so far to feel the movement too. We just have to wait every pregnancy is different.

my bf felt them at about 16-17wks. I'm almost 20wks now and you can see them on the outside going on like 3-4 wks now.

I'm 18 weeks and last night was the first time I felt it. I had flutters a few weeks ago but just one day. Last night I started getting pressure. It reminded me of a big bubble floating to the top of my tummy (I was laying down) I had my hand over top of it and I felt it skin across my tummy. I felt it on my hand. Beyond excited because I haven't felt anything yet but for that! So you could feel it any time. It might be tricky to get him to feel it because it's not going to be a full on kick quite yet. I keep expecting fast movements but it wasn't. It was really slow and calm moving.
