Patient's question:
My doll is almost four months old, but when I hold it upright, its head wobbles. When I put it on its tummy and lift its head, it doesn't lift it very high or stably. I put a pillow under its chest so it can lie flat. What does lifting its head 90 degrees mean?Doctor's answer:
Usually, a baby's bones are quite soft, so it's important not to rush in teaching them various movements. Typically, around 2 to 3 months, you can start practicing lying the baby down and helping them lift their head. However, every baby is different, and as long as all developmental milestones are met, you can begin practicing these movements. When the baby is lying down, you can gently touch the back of their neck, just below the nape, to feel the cervical spine.
