Question
My child has been born for four months now, but their head still isn’t very stable. I notice that other babies of the same age could lift their heads at three months. I want to ask, is it normal for a four-month-old baby to have difficulty lifting their head high?
Answer
Typically, babies can lift their heads around three months of age. By about four months, they should be able to lift their heads more steadily. If a baby around four months old still has difficulty lifting their head, this may indicate a calcium deficiency. In such cases, parents should bring the baby to a hospital for a developmental assessment. Then, improvements can be made based on the baby’s developmental status.
