My son is seven months old. I was as worried as you are as he was not able to hold his head fully up till he was 6 month one week old . His 6 month doctor visit I asked the doctor and she did a minor experiment on him. Hold your baby's both hands when he is lying down and pull him towards you, his/her head should not drop back. Hope this helps.
My son has big head.

Hi,
Dont worry.Usually babies have their head control at the age of 4 months.But if your baby's head is big then it will take some more time.If your baby is feeding well and gaining weight properly I thik there is not any problem. If yo are still wooried talk to your peditrition.Good luck

hello jayashree
dont get afraid and dont loose hopes, your son is absolutely fine, and give him the proper tuition and avoid more playing periods of his, and you should teach him at home when you will get free time.... - praglabh [View Message]
