Patient's question:
Your friend's doll just turned ten days old, and she told me that her doll can already lift its head. We all find it amazing, as we haven't heard of this before. I wanted to ask how many days after birth does the baby start to lift its head while lying on its stomach?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a baby who is ten days old can lift their head while lying on their stomach, it does not necessarily indicate a pathological issue. It should be a sign of good skeletal development. You can observe the baby's condition to see if there are any abnormal signs, and it would be best to have a neurology examination. If the baby's mental state and diet are normal, there is no need to worry. Let the baby get more sunlight, but of course, you should avoid prolonged head elevation.
