POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. A newborn baby's neck muscles typically start to gain strength and stability between 2 to 4 months of age. Here's a general timeline for neck control development:
At 1 month: Your baby’s neck is still very wobbly, and they need support when you hold them. They may be able to lift their head briefly when lying on their stomach, but it’s not very controlled.
At 2 months: Babies start gaining more strength and can lift their head 45 degrees or more while on their tummy. They can also briefly hold their head steady when held upright.
At 3 to 4 months: By this age, most babies have much better neck control and can hold their head steady while sitting with support. Some babies may even start to push up during tummy time, which helps strengthen their neck and back muscles.
At 6 months: By this time, most babies have full neck control and can hold their head steady in all positions.
Encouraging tummy time from an early age helps your baby develop neck strength and stability. If you're concerned about your baby’s neck control or development, it’s a good idea to talk to your pediatrician for personalized advice.
