What should I do if the baby can't lift his head?

Patient's question:

Head cannot be lifted. But only tilt to the right. As long as hold the right side of the head, it can be lifted. But still unstable. Is this normal? Haven't practiced prone head lift before. Other development is normal. Weight is slightly low.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Generally, children start looking up when they are two years old. In March, he can lie on his back and then turn to his side. He can touch things with his hands and also babble. His head can rotate 180 degrees to follow the objects he sees or the sounds he hears.
Pay attention to your hands—does the baby have the stepping reflex? Hold the baby with both hands. The baby will use his feet to touch the ground. When the baby moves forward gently, he will perform a series of stepping exchange movements.
