When will my baby start to control his head movement?

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.
