Is It Normal for a Baby to Lift Their Head at One Month?

Question

Can a one-month-old baby lift their head normally?

Answer

Hello, according to general circumstances, by the time babies are four months old, they can support their heads while held upright; in a prone position, they should be able to lift their heads to form a 90-degree angle with the scapulae. Therefore, it is normal for a one-month-old baby to be able to lift their head. If you need to train your baby to lift their head, you can place the baby on the bed in a prone position and gently support the baby’s waist. This will naturally cause the baby to lift their head. However, the training time should not exceed 1 to 2 minutes each time.
