john316a

how was your LO's head control at 3 months? My DS is a little over 3 months and it is okay, but he still has a ways to go. is this normal? we do tt. we use the bumbo some but we have to have our hands right at his head just incase, and we usually are glad they were there. thoughts? tia.

DD had amazing head control then. But, we did lots of tummy play time with her and I think that helped out so much. Every baby is different. You just have to work with them. Maybe try more tummy time. Build up those neck muscles.

My DD is three months old today and she doesn't have the best head control yet. Its a work in progress.  She also suffers from torticollis and we start PT on Tuesday.  She hates tummy time so I wear her in a carrier alot.

We've never done a lot of tummy time, but DS has great head control.  He lays on us and looks around a lot.  He's always had really good head control for his age; he's so curious he needs to be able to look around, lol.

Sounds just like my LO who is 3 months tomorrow. In the bumbo, I sit close to him. Some days he has more control than others. We do a lot of tummy time and he gets his head way up, but he still bobbles sometimes.

DD has had great head control since 2 months, I carry her on my hip and she sits right up great in my arms.  However, I think as a milestone consistent head control isn't expected until 6 months.  I wouldn't worry!
