Question
My baby was born premature by one and a half months, and is now four months old. The baby’s head is still shaking around. I would like to ask, is this normal?
Answer
Premature babies often have less mature nervous systems. Typically, corrected gestational age of about two months is when they start to lift their heads, and at four months, they should be able to roll over. However, each baby’s situation can vary, so it is recommended to consult with a doctor for a face-to-face examination and professional advice. The risk of nervous system damage in premature infants is higher, and the risk of developmental delay also increases. It is suggested to drink plenty of water, eat less spicy food, consume calcium, get sun exposure, and consider further checks if necessary.
