Is it normal for a two-month-old baby not to lift their head?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for a two-month-old baby not to lift their head? Because where I am, there's a saying about babies lifting their heads at two months, but my baby is already two months old and still can't lift their head. I don't know if this is normal.

Doctor's answer:

It is normal for a two-month-old baby not to lift their head up, as they are still quite small. Generally, babies start learning to lift their heads around 2 to 3 months, but due to individual differences, the timing can vary. If the baby does not lift their head, you can do more training with them, such as having the baby rest on your shoulder and encouraging them to look at the scenery outside to spark their interest. Alternatively, you can use toys to engage them and help them learn to lift their head slowly.
