Question

A parent of a four-month-old baby has noticed that the baby, who was previously able to hold its head up, suddenly refuses to do so. The parent wants to know what could be the possible reasons for this situation.

Answer

Hello. If the baby’s other movements appear normal, the sudden refusal to lift the head may be due to overexertion or regional strain. When training the baby’s various movements, it is important to control the training time appropriately, avoiding prolonged sessions that could lead to exhaustion and subsequently affect physical development. It is recommended that parents not become overly anxious and should proceed with the training in a gradual manner.
