A. do tummy time and see tummy time should be done after 1 hour of feeding. baby should not be hungry, crying, or sleepy when you do it, do it for 1 minute everyday, slowly increase frequency and time if baby enjoys it. if baby starts crying , make him supine. encourage the baby while on tummy. it helps in relieving gases, strengthening neck and shoulder muscles.

A. hey mommy this very normal. the baby we hold up its neck by 4 months and strongly by 6 months . this is a milestone they will achieve in time. you can encourage your baby by giving her as much tummy time as possible without pushing your baby too much.

Shikha kumarMom of 2 children6 years ago

A. Hello mum you should not worry but you should know the fact that your baby has not started holding the neck which is normal at this stage you need to give a supporting hand to your baby or this will create a problem in future until he can hold his neck on himself this show support must be provided
