Patient's question:
Three or four days ago, the baby turned three months old and I took it for a check-up. Everything was fine, but it didn't lift its head very well. The doctor at the hospital suggested we do some exercises at home. But at home, I try to get the baby to lift its head by lying it on its stomach and holding toys to attract it. How do you train a three-month-old baby to lift its head?Doctor's answer:
Three-month-old babies can learn to lift their heads on their own. Moms don't need to deliberately teach the baby. Just let the baby lie on their stomach on the bed, and the baby can learn to lift their head on their own.Babies master different skills at different times. That's why there's the saying "three six seven eight." At two and a half or three months, babies can typically master the skill of lifting their heads. Generally, by three months, babies can learn to lift their heads. They will look up at their moms. So moms don't need to use special methods to exercise the baby. This is a skill the baby can easily master on their own.
As babies grow, they will gradually learn many skills. If they haven't mastered a skill after a long time, then it's something to pay attention to.
