Question
My baby is sixty days old today!….. Exactly two months old,,,, the pediatrician said he has high muscle tone. His head does not hold up steadily!~
Answer
The baby is still too small; it’s generally not until three months that a baby can hold up its head. Don’t worry too much. The body’s muscles and muscle groups always have a continuous activity of muscle tone. Normally, the changes in muscle tone are within a limited range; otherwise, the human body would lose the possibility of movement. Babies are prone to high muscle tone, but it usually resolves on its own. If the muscle tone is still high at the six-month check-up, then it is necessary to seek examination and treatment. You can continue to observe the baby’s condition in various aspects to see if there are any abnormalities.
