When I hold my baby upright, their head still wobbles a bit. When does head control fully develop?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Head control typically develops by around 4 months of age. Babies can briefly lift their head while on their back at 2-3 months, but by the 4th month they can hold it steadily when held upright. Each baby has slight variations, but by the end of the 4th month, stable head control is expected. If by the end of the 4th month there's still obvious wobbling, discuss with your pediatrician.
