SanthoshiMom of 2 children9 months ago

A. Initially, newborns have very little head control and need full support. 1 to 2 months: Babies can lift their heads briefly and turn them from side to side while lying on their tummies 3 to 4 months: By this age, most babies can hold their heads up steadily when supported in a sitting position and may do a “mini pushup” during tummy time
