Active kids, as a rule, try to raise at once the head to look before themselves. In most cases, having appeared in such situation, the child can only overturn the head on the different parties. Procedures such should not exceed several minutes.
Children stronger become closer to six weeks. They try to lift and hold in all ways the head, but it turns out to make it only for several seconds.
To keep the head in half-month age before itself, lying on a stomach, it turns out at most of children. Kids at the same time can even turn a neck and examine a surrounding situation. Fully children begin to hold the head only by three months. Pay attention that the concept "hold the head" belongs not only to the procedure of a vykladyvaniye on a tummy, but also means that the child has to feel surely if you keep it on the hands in vertical position. If the neck of the kid got stronger to three-months age, it demonstrates its earlier development. However specially to you it is not necessary to strain weak vertebras and cervical muscles. At early age they can be damaged easily that will do harm to health of the child. If the kid was three months old, but he did not learn to hold the head – surely see behind consultation a children's doctor.
