Patient's question:
My baby is already four and a half months old. She can lift her head and push her chest up, but she can't turn her head to one side while lying on her stomach; she always faces downwards. After lifting her head for a while, she gets tired and falls back down. What should I do? I want to ask if it's normal for a four-month-old baby not to lift their head while lying on their stomach?Doctor's answer:
Usually, according to the developmental of dolls, they can perform head-raising movements within three months. Looking up is a physical activity. Generally, the development of babies is worth attention and emphasis. It is recommended to go to a pediatrician for a comprehensive check-up regarding infant and toddler growth and development issues."One look, two views, three head-raising, four sitting up, five grabbing, six rolling over, seven sitting, eight crawling, nine holding up while standing, one year old standing alone and gradually walking, gradually no longer being a milk baby." This is a simple and memorable rule of growth and development.
