By this age, babies usually have good head control. If your baby mostly keeps her head down and lifts it only briefly, we should monitor her development more closely. Sometimes, babies may be a little delayed for simple reasons like low tone or less tummy time, but we need to assess it to be sure.
Next Steps
Let’s increase tummy time and observe over the next 1–2 weeks. If there’s no improvement, need to evaluate further
