I'm waiting for my baby to hold their head up steadily. When does neck control usually develop?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Neck control in babies typically develops around 3-4 months. During this time, baby can lift their head from a lying-down position and hold it up for short periods. By month 4, this skill solidifies further. Every baby develops at their own pace — some do it by 2 months, others by 4 months, and both are normal. If your baby is past 4 months and still can't lift their head at all or support it even with help, I'd recommend checking with your pediatrician.
