Question

During the three-month-old baby’s physical examination, it was found that their ability to lift their head has not fully developed. The doctor recommends training at home. How should one guide a three-month-old baby in practicing lifting their head?

Answer

At three months old, a baby should have some ability to lift their head, unless they are overweight. It is suggested to hold the baby up before feeding and use a toy with a loud sound to attract their attention, encouraging them to lift their head and look around. If the baby is unwilling to lift their head, they may feel uncomfortable. If the baby is cooperative, repeat this action multiple times. It is important to avoid putting pressure on the baby during training and ensure their comfort and safety.
