Yes because some babies take longer to do so. Do more tummy time so that she can strengthen her neck muscles. You can go see Youtube videos on how to do more tummy time for babies. Must do tummy time everyday and slowly increase the time.

Do more exercises to strengthen her neck. More tummy time, encourage her to look up and down, left and right with a rattle toy etc. Some babies love to strain their necks to look around, others prefer mummy's warm embrace.

Thank you will try my best ,just by lying down for few seconds she start to cry ... Just so worried

Mine 5mo and still v bad at it. I decided to just let him develop at his own pace. At the end of the day, everyone will eventually grow up knowing how to support their head, sit up, and eventually walk.

Pay attention to her tummy time posture, maybe you can try helping her by putting her arms in front (underneath her head) when she is on the tummy instead of underneath her body.

Thank you

Some babies may take a little longer, but you’ll need to keep doing tummy time with her.. maybe 4x/day, 5-10 minutes each time

My baby is 4 mo, she just recently started to lift her head higher during tummy time. Every baby has their own pace to learn :)

You need to let baby do more tummy time. Can watch Youtube videos to learn how to do tummy time.

Be Patient, give baby some more time. Eventually baby will learn to lift her neck, don't worry.

The doctor actually scared me by saying they would send her to specialist if she don't lift her neck and stuff

You could practice more tummy time so your baby exercise more of neck muscle
