How many months does it take for a baby to hold his head upright?

The baby's body is very soft and its bones are not yet fully developed, so it cannot be manipulated at will. For example, babies cannot be held upright when they are a few months old because their spine has not yet developed and cannot bear the weight of the body. If they are picked up by force, their spine may be injured, which is not conducive to their future healthy development and may even lead to the risk of fractures. So, how many months does it take for a baby to stand upright?

Exercise method: Practice every day when the baby is awake. Hold the baby upright and use both hands to support the back of the pillow, neck, waist, and buttocks to avoid hurting the spine. You can also hold the baby facing forward, with his head and back against the mother's chest, with one hand supporting the baby's chest in front and the other hand supporting the baby's buttocks in the back.

Facing forward, you can see things in front of you. Not only does you practice raising your head, you also practice your ability to see, adding new fun. If the baby cannot hold his head upright yet, when the mother holds the baby upright, she must pay attention to protecting the neck and not let the baby's head tilt to the left or right.

Let your baby lie on his stomach and raise his head. When he is 3 months old, he will raise his head 90 degrees and use his upper limbs to support his chest. Training should be done one hour after feeding or before feeding to prevent spitting up milk. Head-up training is very helpful for the baby's neck and back muscles, lung capacity, brain development, etc.

Some babies don’t like lying on their stomachs and become irritable or cry when they do so.

The characteristics of infant growth and development are a large and heavy head, more gelatin in the bones, underdeveloped muscles, and weak muscle strength. Therefore, a one-month-old baby can only lift his head slightly for a moment, and the head can begin to stand upright at three months. Because the neck and back muscles are not yet fully developed, babies aged 1 to 3 months cannot support the weight of their heads for a long time. Therefore, the posture for holding a baby of 1 to 3 months is very particular, and the key is to support the baby's head.
