Holding Head Up as a Developmental Milestone
The ability for a baby to hold their head up is an early developmental milestone. The average age for achieving this is 6 weeks, and 90% of babies accomplish it between 3 weeks and 4 months of age. A failure to hold the head up by 4 months is considered a developmental delay.
