Q: Baby's Head And Bobbing Around Still

Hi All...I come to you for some advice. My little one HATES to be on his belly. Consequently, he has developed a flatten out head.
He is 3 and 1/2 mo. now and I can sit him in his bumbo chair, but he doesn't hold his head up straight. He sort of bobs it up and down like he is still trying to get ahold of it, so to speak. It will stay up for a few seconds and then all of a sudden it will sort of jerk up and down and then his chin will be on his chest again.

How old were your kids when they could sit up in like a bumbo with their heads UP and not bobbing over side to side and up and down...

I'm afraid it is because of the lack of tummy time...and his neck muscles aren't as strong...should I be worried at 3 and 1/2 mo.??
He is wanting to start sitting up, he tries to when he is flat on his back, I see him struggle to bend at waist and sit up.

Any and all advice is extremely welcomed.
Thanks all, in advance, for your thoughts.
Susie.

Amelia starting sitting in her bumbo at 3 months. She always could lift her head real good when I would sit her on my lap. But when I sat her in her bumbo, she wouldnt keep her head up, I noticed she got tired. I would let her sit in a few minutes at a time then take her out then do it again later on. She was more less lazy I guess lol. Now she tries to get out of it lol. But I dont think theres nothing wrong. Amelia hated to be on her tummy too, she still does. she wont lay more than 5 minutes on her tummy.


If hes doing what .Mel did then you should give what I done a try.

My daughter will be 4 months old on Sunday and she still bobbs her head too. I'm guessing it might take a while for your lil one to start sitting up on his own and the same with my daughter. My daughter's daddy would like to get her a bumbo seat but she cant really sit up on her own yet. I've been doing some tummy time with her and she tries rolling over. During her tummy time....I usually would massage her back and feet so she is comfortable. She hates to be flat on her back. But yea it might take a while. Nothing is wrong.
