She is 2 months now and it's getting so much sturdier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-lifting#post-19505 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:07:28 +0000 BabyLove 19505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lil one was able to lift her head off of my chest from birth too. I think breast feeding her has helped with the muscle development. It seems like she tends to use her neck more so than if I was just holding her and giving her a bottle. At 2 months she was able to hold her head up for short periods of time, if I propped her on her elbows. Now, at 3 months, she's able to prop herself up on her elbows without my assistance and she can raise her neck high for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-lifting#post-18381 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 09:45:19 +0000 heffalump 18381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She also lifted her head pretty early like everyone else. </p> <p>But at almost 4 months I still don't feel comfortable leaving her in a bumbo too long, or facing her forward in a baby carrier. I'm a bit paranoid though. I want her to be super sturdy before we do those things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-lifting#post-18378 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 09:40:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 18378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not only did she lift her head since birth but she could lift it so high that she would roll over from tummy to back since the first week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-lifting#post-18334 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 07:19:33 +0000 Rubies 18334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same-ish as everyone. Since birth-ish from laying on my chest. But from tummy time, maybe 1.5-2 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-lifting#post-18332 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 07:17:10 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 18332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here!
