Head control

2024-02-19 00:52:45
Hello dr. My baby is 3 months and 4 days old. From the past week he has been trying to lift his head up while on his back but struggling to lift while on tummy. I never gave him much tummy time till 3rd month because he was uncomfortable. Now I tried to do so he is drooling a lot while on tummy. What should be done to increase tummy time?  And is delay in tummy time effect in his neck control development?!
