Question
My baby is just over a month old, and recently, when I hold her, I’ve noticed she can already lift her head. Is this considered early lifting? Does it mean the baby is smarter?
Answer
Early lifting of the baby’s head might indicate something unusual, so it’s advisable to be attentive to any other symptoms. If the baby can also lift her head while lying down, it should be taken to a pediatric department in a major hospital for examination. Generally speaking, lifting the head is a gradual process; if the baby’s lifting motion is very agile rather than progressive, it may be a pathological cause.
