A. neck holding of the child should be present by 4 months to maximum 5 months of age. regular massage of the back as well as the neck will help in strengthening the muscles of txhis area. if neck holding and head holding is not proper by the end of 5 months it is important to meet the doctor for examination to find the cause of delayed milestones

A. Around 4 months, most babies won't need as much head support. At this point, they'll likely be able to raise their head even while lying on their back and prop themself up on their elbows (like a mini cobra) during tummy time. They're building muscles while preparing for another major milestone: learning to crawl!
