Can a 1-month-old baby hold up their neck?

A 1-month-old baby cannot yet control their neck. Neck muscles in newborns are very weak; the ability to hold the head upright and control it usually develops around 3-4 months. During this period, you must always support your baby's head (holding from the back of the head and neck when carrying). When a 1-month-old is placed on their stomach, they may show a brief head-lift reflex, but this is not "holding" — it's a normal part of development.
