Newborns can start practicing lifting their heads when they reach the full moon after birth.
The spine develops from top to bottom, with the cervical spine developing first. When you start practicing lifting your head at full term, you may start to lift your head low and unsteadily. With gradual practice, the head will gradually be raised higher and higher, and the head will be more stable around 3 months of age.
When practicing head lifting, the newborn needs to pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Supervision: When practicing lifting the head, there must be a supervisor around to watch the child to avoid choking due to covering the mouth and nose when practicing lifting the head.
2. Pay attention to the time: each time to practice the time should not be too long, 3-5 minutes / times can be.
3. Toy teasing: You can prepare toys with music for your baby, and tease your baby in front of you, so that your baby will chase the toy and practice lifting his head.
