The health visitor has just told me to take 12 week old DD to my GP as she's not holding her head up. She can't do the "pull up" test, iykwim.
On her tummy she is strong and pushes up on her hands, but I have to support her sitting up on my lap, or carrying her upright.
I thought 12 weeks was a bit early to worry about this... my "what to expect" book says most babies can't do this at the start of month 4... but now I am starting to worry.
And, when I think about it, I am sure she was stronger in her neck at her 6 week check, when my husband and I were actually surprised at how strong she seemed to be. Can she have gone BACKWARDS since then?
Should I worry? Anyone else have any experience of this?
TIA
