POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. At 7 months old, most babies have typically gained enough muscle strength to hold their necks steady while sitting up and during tummy time. However, if your baby is still unable to hold his neck, it could be a sign that there is a delay in muscle development. It’s important to note that babies develop at different rates, so some may take a little longer to achieve certain milestones.
Here are a few things you can try to encourage neck strength:
Tummy time: Place your baby on his tummy when awake to help strengthen neck, shoulder, and arm muscles. Start with short sessions and gradually increase the time as he gets stronger. Encourage sitting with support: Support your baby in a sitting position while ensuring he’s stable, which can help build core strength. Use toys: Hold toys in front of him to encourage him to turn his head and look at them, which can help with neck movement. Gentle practice: Support your baby’s neck when holding him and gently practice turning his head from side to side to help him get used to movement.
If your baby is not showing progress in holding his neck by 7 months or if you notice other developmental concerns, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions and to get tailored advice.
