Patient's question:
My baby is just two months old now. My mother-in-law told me that the neighbor's child is about the same age as my baby and can already lift his head. Is it normal for a two-month-old baby to be able to lift their head? I don't want to rush things.Doctor's answer:
Now the baby is only two months old. Generally speaking, at three months, the head is straight, but every baby is different, so some babies may lift their heads earlier, while others may take a bit longer. When the child is in good spirits and well-fed, an adult can lie on their chest, and the baby can lift their head up by themselves, holding it for a few seconds. Practicing this about three times a day, I believe that over time, the baby will definitely be able to lift their head up.
