Patient's question:
My baby is sixty days old today!.....It's exactly two months old,...The pediatrician said his muscle tone is high. His head isn't steady!~Doctor's answer:
The baby is still too young; it usually takes until around three months for them to hold their head up straight. Don't worry too much about it. The body's muscles and muscle groups are constantly engaged in sustained muscle tone activity. Under normal circumstances, changes in muscle tone are limited, otherwise the human body would lose the ability to move. Small babies are prone to high muscle tone, but it usually resolves on its own. If the muscle tone is still too high at the six-month check-up, further examination and treatment will be needed. You can continue to observe the baby's overall condition to see if there are any abnormalities.
