In general, it is better for newborns to hold their heads up early. Newborns will slowly raise their heads at 2 months of age, and at 3 months of age they tend to be more stable. If a newborn raises his head early, it means that he is developing well. However, some newborns have a pseudo-head lift, which is often caused by unusually high muscle tone in the neck. If the newborn’s head is very uncoordinated, it is an abnormality, mainly due to brain damage such as cerebral palsy. If the head is raised early and steadily, the motor activity of the neck and the eyes are good, it is normal to raise the head early and parents can rest assured. The newborn’s head should be lifted gradually, even if the head is lifted early, the time to lift the head should be increased slowly, not too long at once.
