Patient's question:
My child is already 103 days old, but he still can't lift his head up. Could you please tell me what might be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, children form their cervical physiological curvature within about three months, at which point neck movement may occur. By six months, the thoracic spine develops its physiological curvature, and at this stage, the child can sit up independently and roll over. Around 12 months of age, the lumbar physiological curvature begins to form, and at this point, the child can stand and walk independently. Currently, the child is 103 days old and cannot get up. It is important to closely monitor and make a comprehensive judgment based on other aspects of the child's development, as it may be related to neurodevelopmental issues.
