Head flops forward or backward when in an upright position

A Gross Motor milestone for the 1-4 weeks age range.

TIP: Carefully support your child's head, as his neck muscles are not fully developed. The best way to help your child develop neck strength is by engaging him during his alert times. Moving his head to pay attention will help him develop greater muscle tone in his neck.
