Help!! Neck Control!!
Posted: 04-05-06 18:19pm

Hi everyone I am a mom of 5 month of baby daughter, I would like to find out when did your baby has a good neck control. The reason I asked is because my baby girl is 5 months and one week old she doesnt have a very good neck conrtol yet! I heard other moms said that their baby didnt have a good neck control in the end of 5 months or they just recently have a good neck control at 6 months...Some start as early as 4 months...I am just worried please let me know when your baby start having a good neck control??? Thanks :wink:

So many viewers, no responses. Babies mature at different times; some crawl, some don't, some can talk at 2, some can't. I wouldn't be too concerned. Take her to the doctor during her regular check up if you are; sometimes there may be a reson for concern. Are you giving her time on her tummy and back to discover things on her own? I have a habit of always carrying her but am trying to limit that time now as i've learned they learn quicker on their own. My daughter has always had a strong neck. When she was born she lifted her head off my chest and looked straight into my eyes! However, at three months now, she can't roll from her tummy to her back by herself. I'm not too worried. I found that she loves watching tv and during her tummy time she'll try to lift her head to see the television. This may not be the best thing for her, but it works for me right now! Good luck to you.

My son lifted his head when I first held him, too, and kept doing it ever since. He had good neck control at that age, but I would worry about it. He was late at crawling and walking, and still doesn't know who "momma" is. He just walks around the house saying it while walking right past me.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I would try hold him upright and playing games with him to get him to learn to hold it up better.
