Release him gently and repeat the operation. He should be able to hold his head more or less in line with the rest of his body as you pull him up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Five to six months old<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> By six months old, your baby should be able to keep his head upright when standing, not just when sitting.

If your baby doesn&#8217;t have good head control after five months, consult your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that if your baby was born prematurely, he or she may reach this goal, and possibly other milestones, later than most full-term babies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your baby&#8217;s head needs a lot of support in the first few months, until his neck muscles become stronger.
