Question
My child is already 103 days old, but he still can’t lift his head. What could be the reason for this?
Answer
Normally, children develop a cervical spinal curve within about three months, at which point neck movement may occur; by six months, the thoracic spine forms a physiological curve, allowing them to sit independently and roll over. Around 12 months old, the lumbar spinal curve begins to form, and the child can stand and walk independently. Currently, at 103 days old, the baby cannot lift its head, so it’s important to observe carefully and make a comprehensive judgment based on other aspects of the baby’s development, which may be related to neural developmental disorders.
