Sometimes such anxiety proves to be justified, and this violation requires the immediate commencement of treatment of the crumbs under the supervision of a neuropathologist. Meanwhile, in most cases, simple mummy massage and special gymnastic exercises help to correct the situation. In this article, we will tell you what to do if a baby does not keep a good head in 3 months, and what reasons can contribute to this.
Why does the baby have a bad head in 3 months?
If your child is almost 3 months old, but he still has a bad head, consult a neurologist. A qualified doctor will examine the baby and reveal what exactly prevents him from fully developing. The most common cause of such a violation is the following:
- weak muscle tone;
- prematurity;
- underweight;
- birth trauma.
How to help the crumb to learn the skill?
If the child does not have any serious violations, the doctor will definitely advise you to do with him simple gymnastic exercises to strengthen the muscles of the neck. In particular, the following classes can help you:
- Put the crumb on your hands face down so that one of your palm rest on his chest, and the other on his hip. In this position, raise and lower the child.
- Arrange your child on a large ball and hold him by the pelvis, and another adult let him hold the crumbs behind his hands. Gently swing the crumb on the ball in different directions.
- Put the baby on your hands face down and slowly lift his pelvis and head in turn.
