Wobbly neck

mayringor · November 2015

Hi mommies, FTM here. My LO's neck is still a bit wobbly most especially when I try to grab his hands from lying on his back to a sitting position. However, he does great on tummy time and is able to roll over with a bit of my help too. How are your LO's doing? I am just a bit concerned as his pedia said that she wants to reassess him and make sure he doesn't have cerebral palsy issues. I am scared and so anxious to know how your LO's are doing. I know for a fact that our LO's develop everything at their own pace and I just don't want to think too much. Any mommies out there who's in the same situation or has gone through the same experience? Please share your thoughts. Thank you mommies!

How old is your little one? I'm surprised by this it sounds like he is doing just fine. My son is 15 weeks and still is pretty wobbly. I have to support his head while holding him but he also does great during tummy time.

When I try to pull him up into the sitting position he does nothing with his head. I stop because I'm afraid I will hurt his neck. When I put him on my legs propped up sometimes I notice he is trying to sit up but no real progress. I just assumed if tummy time was going well we were okay but I also haven't been to the pedia lately. We are going in 2 weeks.

This picture is exactly what my son looks like too (the left side) the right side however he does not do. He holds his head that way in line with his body. Does your LO look like both?

Our DD is 17 weeks old, and she is wobbly. We have to remember that they are actually still very little humans. I keep expecting her to reach more milestones and hubby keeps reminding me that she is just on 4 months old. I'm sure he is fine honey, keep strong xx

My friend's son had wobbly head till he was 5-6 months. He is now 11 months and crawls, sits in high chairs and moves his head just fine. Have faith and think positive. Like you said every baby develops and grows at their own pace. Don't stress about this and keep us updated please. I will include you and your little one in my prayers and you will see Monday will be good! Please keep us update and don't worry mama!!

God bless you and sending hugs your way!

It is on Dec 3rd but I absolutely will. Please keep us posted as well. Saying prayers for your LO in the meantime.

Yes I'm a FTM, and get so excited that I forget that she is teeny and is stil so young. I'm so sure that your son will be fine, and I would be surprised if he has full control over his head and neck. My DD has started this new thing when we go shopping, If we are carrying her she throws herself in the direction of something she wants to look at. Scares the absolute crap out of you lol
What I'm trying to say is I'm sure he is learning control and that's why he wobbles. Il be keeping you in my thoughts, and please please let us know the outcome. Keep faith and enjoy your little one xxxx

He is 19 wks old... I don't know if I should be worried or not (yet) with what his pedia have told me yesterday

Have you tried the sitting position exercise with your LO yet? How was it?

mayringor · November 2015

I tried doing that too and he could hold his neck but kinda wobbles still which is for me, a bit of an improvement. Whenever he gets excited, his neck flops back a bit and then that's the time I put him down as I don't want to stress his neck too much or his spine in that case. We were asked to come back on Monday for the reassessment. I am hopeful and have been praying that everything will be ok and there's nothing too serious about this neck issue. I try not to worry but I just can't help it. I even checked the symptoms of cerebral palsy for infants and the picture that I got on the internet shows exactly how my LO is when I try to put him on the sitting position. I don't know if his weight could be a 'problem'? He's 8.39 kgs and height is 68.3 cms.

- That's true. We are probably just excited moms especially for FTM like me, are you too? Thank you, it's always better to talk to someone who could relate to what you're going through. God bless!

Hi pretty mommies!! So yeah, we've seen his pedia yesterday (23rd Nov) and said that my LO seems to be reaching his other milestones except for the back-to-sitting part. Thankfully I am not too worried anymore as my DS have been doing a lot of rolling over lately... Actually when his pedia stepped in the room, she saw how flexible and active my baby was...My LO was just smiling and happy as ever with all those belly laughs the whole time... She said that she would just refer me still to an occupational therapist just to make sure that we will not be missing on anything and to rule out this cerebral palsy scare... And with all the positive things I've been seeing and feeling lately, I'd say I would brush this 'scare' off my shoulder and enjoy seeing LO's developments day by day. Thank you everyone!!!! Great things happen to great moms and to our dear babies!!! God bless!!!

Fantastic news!!!!!! Really happy to hear mumma

mayringor · November 2015

Oh just a quick update... I got a call from LO's pedia late afternoon yesterday and she said that she wanted LO to get a blood test done (we're gonna do it today) and she wanted to get a 2nd opinion from the other pedia...

meganpatel · November 2015

She certainly is thorough. Better safe than sorry I suppose I'm just concerned she may be worrying you unnecessarily. Fingers crossed, but still certain there's nothing to worry about. Do you follow the wonder weeks? It said that aurora would regress about now and she has, her head needs more support in this leap, and she is having trouble with her teeth moving. Do you find your LO has regressed at all?

n3na94 · November 2015

Everything will be fine!! Keeping you and your little one in our prayers. Keep us updated and I know we will hear great news instead. God bless you and do not worry, He is in control!
