Patient's question:
My baby has been a week old now, and then it feels soft all over, doesn't lift its head either, reacts to sounds, and seems especially cute and adorable. Could you please tell me how long it will take for the baby to lift its head?Doctor's answer:
Hello, babies cannot lift their heads when they are just born. As the baby grows, they can start to lift their heads when they are around two or three months old and can lie on their stomach on the bed. However, some babies may take longer to lift their heads, but it is usually before six months, so there is no need to worry too much. When training babies to lift their heads, it is important to make sure their mouths and noses are not blocked to avoid suffocation.
