Baby not lifting head during tummy time
My baby is about to complete 3 months in another 3 days. He is not having full head control ( back support is needed) and while he is on his tummy he is not lifting his head( started tummy time at 12 weeks). Other activities are normal. While he is on his back he can turn his head to sideways. Concern is not having steady neck and not lifting his head while he is on tummy. Please suggest if we have to inform pediatrician on this?

Tummy time was started late
Can be started as early as 3 weeks
So head control develops faster
