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 at what age do babies usually start lifting their heads?Doctor's answer:
Babies cannot lift their heads when they are first 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 to lift their heads. However, some babies may lift their heads later, but it is usually before six months, so there is no need to worry too much. When training a baby to lift their head, it is important to pay attention not to block their mouth and nose to avoid suffocation.
