A. Hello, your baby boy is 2 months old and he will control his head properly after 3 months so don’t make him to do it passively otherwise his neck muscles will be harmful

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 fas the neck will help in strengthening the muscles of this area. if neck holdincg 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
