My LO sucked at tummy time until one day she just "got it." I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep doing short stretches as she tolerates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-still-very-bobble-headed#post-2252818 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 05:13:40 +0000 QBbride 2252818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: I used an ergo with him. It's necessary for the carrier to support his neck because his neck muscles would get too tired. But i think wearing him helps because he's upright and working against gravity somewhat plus he will gain strength as he starts to look around, turn his head side to side etc. I'm not an option expert but my son always had a super strong neck despite never doing tummy time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-still-very-bobble-headed#post-2252571 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 15:18:28 +0000 SeptMomma12 2252571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: What kind of carrier did you use? We have a Bjorn and an Ergo but I feel like both of those support her neck all the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-still-very-bobble-headed#post-2252551 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 14:45:35 +0000 QBbride 2252551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be too worried but it's worth keeping an eye on. I never ever did tummy time (my DS spat up a ton) but I wore him A LOT in the carrier and I think that really strengthened his neck muscles. Could you wear him around?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-still-very-bobble-headed#post-2252548 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 14:39:35 +0000 NurseDMB 2252548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: I would just mention it at the next checkup but wouldn't be too concerned at this point. DS was the same way but he had torticollis and a HUGE head (100th percentile!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-still-very-bobble-headed#post-2252490 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 13:07:31 +0000 Truth Bombs 2252490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point I probably wouldn't worry about it, just make an effort to focus on it, keep an eye on it, and mention it to the ped at the next appointment. But 11 weeks is definitely still within the range of normal to still be working on head control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-still-very-bobble-headed#post-2252487 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:55:08 +0000 SeptMomma12 2252487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like my 11 week old has very poor head control compared to the other babies we see her age. We do tummy time on the boppy and on the play may a few times a day, and she'll lift her head a few times but not much - doesn't cry but just kinda lays there and sucks her arm. Should I be concerned at this point? </p>
