Patient's question:
My baby has been four months old since birth, but his head still isn't very stable when he lifts it. I noticed that other babies can already lift their heads at three months. I want to ask if it's normal for a four-month-old baby not to lift their head very high?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, babies can lift their heads when they are around three months old. Around four months, they can hold their heads up more steadily. If a baby is around four months old and still has some difficulty holding their head up steadily, this could be a sign of calcium deficiency in the body. In such cases, parents can take the baby to a hospital for a physical development evaluation. Based on the baby's physical development, the parents can then decide how to improve the situation.
