When baby is on their belly, they only lift their head very briefly. When will they be able to hold their head up properly?

Head control during tummy time develops at different rates in each baby. Babies generally begin lifting their heads briefly around 2-3 months; by month 4, they can hold them up more steadily and for longer. The fact that your baby can lift their head even briefly is a good sign. Daily short tummy time sessions (2-3 times a day, starting with 2-3 minutes) help strengthen these muscles. If there's no clear progress by month 4, it's worth discussing with your pediatrician.
