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

Q. #AskTheExpert My baby head is bigger than his body. Due to this reason, he could not control his head, during tummy time also he lifts head for some time and cannot control for few seconds. everyone was pointing out that "my baby is rolling front and back now till now your baby cannot control his head" I was feeling insult about those words and worrying.. please suggest. he is almost completing 4 months.
