How old is your baby now? It is important to know that a newborn's neck muscles are quite weak and cannot support his head. However by around the end of his second month his muscles will have strengthened enough to briefly lift his head when lying on his tummy or when propped up on your shoulder. At 3 to 4 months of age, he should be able to hold up his head more during tummy time and look around to see what else is going on around him. By 6 months of age, your baby would have developed fairly good neck control and can hold his head steady when sitting, propped up on someone's shoulder or in a carrier. Hope this helps.
As a guide, a baby would have developed neck muscles strong enough to help up his/her head by six months. At three to four months, he/she may be able to raise his/her head up to 45 degrees while lying on the tummy. Giving more tummy time could help strengthen these muscles. You can also try having him lie on you instead of the mattress/floor so that he could lift up his head to look at you. You can also shake a rattle on either sides of you baby’s heard to encourage him/her to turn his/her head from side to side.
Your baby's head needs a lot of support during her first few months until her neck muscles get stronger. Gaining the strength to hold her head up is the foundation on which the development of all your baby's other movement is based. It will help her to roll over, sit up, crawl and walk. By six months, your baby will have developed neck muscles strong enough to hold her head up and look from side to side.
Your baby will probably be able to lift his head when he's about a month old, and hold it up when placed in a sitting position at around 4 months. His neck muscles and head control should be strong and steady by 6 months. However, each baby's development may be different from one another thus just taking this as a guide and do not be pressure if you baby is not meeting the milestones yet.
Baby’s neck muscles will take some time to strengthen. Your baby will need help supporting his head and neck (especially in the first month) so be extra-careful with carrying baby. After a few months, your son will start lifting his own head and moving it from side to side. By 6 months, he’ll have a full range of movement :)

at about 3 months old they should be able to hold their head up during tummy time. then again each child develops at a different pace. that is just a gauge
