Question

My baby is now 2 years and 11 months old, and I’ve noticed recently that they always like to tuck their neck forward. What’s going on? Sometimes, they also tuck their neck when picking up things. Is this normal?

Answer

Dear inquirer, I’m pleased to assist you with your query. Based on your description, the child may be going through a temporary postural habit. During the growth process, children often have involuntary movements, which may be temporary and disappear after a while, usually without causing any concern. This is my suggestion for the question ‘What’s wrong with my baby tucking their neck forward when they are 2 years and 11 months old?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
