Question
A few days ago, my baby turned three months old and I brought him for a check-up. Everything was fine, but he doesn’t seem to know how to lift his head. The doctor at the hospital suggested we train him at home, but when I train him at home by lying him on the bed and playing with toys to encourage him to lift his head, how should a 3-month-old baby be trained to lift their head?
Answer
Three-month-old babies can learn to lift their heads on their own without the need for deliberate instruction. Simply let the baby lie on the bed, and they will naturally learn to lift their heads. The time it takes for babies to master different skills varies from individual to individual, such as rolling over, sitting up, and crawling. Generally, by the time a baby is almost three months old, they can master the skill of lifting their heads. By three months, a baby can already lift their head and look at their mother. Therefore, there is no need to use special methods to train the baby; lifting the head is a skill that babies can easily master. As the baby grows, they will gradually master more skills. If they haven’t mastered it for a long time, then it’s something to be aware of.
