Patient's question:
The doll can lift its head and look up when it's three months old, but today when I play with it, it won't lift its head at all. I suspect the doll is lacking some nutritional elements. Is it normal for a doll to be almost a hundred days old and not lift its head?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the baby forms the physiological curve of the cervical spine around three months ago, and then neck movement can occur. At six months, the physiological curve of the thoracic spine occurs, at which point the baby can stand independently, roll over, and perform other actions. Around the age of 12 months, the physiological curve of the lumbar spine begins to form. At this time, the baby can stand and walk alone. Therefore, it is normal for a three-month-old baby to move their head upwards. We need to pay attention to observation and not force the baby's neck to be straight.
