When will my baby start to control his head movement?

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.
