Father of a 4 yr 9 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

My baby is 5 months old, still cant hold completely nack in upright position. I can see less shaking when the baby sits or taken onto to the lap. Is this completely normal? Generally how many months will it take to hold the neck for a baby? Thanks in advance!

A. My baby was a preterm born, he catch up things late and I help him learn in his development. My kid doesn’t completely hold his neck I give him tummy time on feeding pillow or I keep a rolled towel below his underarms when I put him upside down it gives him support to stay for a long time when I give him tummy time. Keep increasing the time slowly but once your baby shows discomfort please pick the baby. 😊
