Is it normal for a baby to lift their head at two weeks?

Patient's question:

The doll is 68 days old. It can lift its head right after birth. Within two months, the doll lifts its head very well. And once, it lifted its head very high and looked around with its head up for a while. Is it correct that the baby lifts its head after half a month?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this parent. Baby's growth and development follow certain patterns. As seen from the commonly mentioned milestones like "lifting at three months, turning at four months, sitting at six months, rolling over at seven months, crawling at eight months, holding up at nine months, and walking at seven months," babies typically start lifting their heads around three months old. Additionally, as the neck muscles and arm strength of the baby increase, the little head can slowly and steadily lift up to 90 degrees.
