Wobbly head at 5 months

2023-06-19 11:21:46
My 5 month old daughter can roll over, can hold her head straight and turn her neck to all directions. But when I make her sit with support, her head still wobbles and sometimes she tends to bend her head in the downward direction. She can move her head in all directions in that position also but it still wobbles. She is reaching all her milestones properly but I am a bit worried. Can you please tell me if this is normal or not?

Sitting with support is achieved at 6 months plus but making her sit very early could cause her back to be rounded and should not be done. Hope your child cried at birth and none of siblings are having developmental delays. Then you should not worry. Else should be assessed personally by pediatrician.

This is normal. No need to worry. Spine strength will take some time.
