FRI | The jerky movements of your baby's first few weeks are smoothing out into more graceful gestures — and you're probably seeing better head control. | |
Head control
At birth, your baby has little control over his head because his neck muscles are fairly weak. He'll develop this crucial skill, which is the foundation for all later movement — such as sitting up and walking — little by little during the first six months of life.
When it develops
Your baby will probably be able to lift his head when he's about a month old, and hold it up when placed in a sitting position at around 4 months. His neck muscles and head control should be strong and steady by age 6 months.
