Question

The baby is over two months old but still hasn’t learned to lift its head. Compared to other babies of the same age, the parents are worried and want to know if there is a problem.

Answer

The baby is a little over two months old and hasn’t yet mastered the skill of lifting its head. Parents are concerned about whether this is normal. Experts point out that individual differences exist in the growth and development of babies, and it is a normal phenomenon for some babies at this age not to have learned how to lift their heads. As long as the baby’s development in other aspects is normal, there’s no need to worry excessively. Parents can help the baby practice lifting its head through appropriate activities, but if the baby doesn’t have any other abnormal symptoms, it can be observed first.
