I don't know, I do know that Hayley needs more tummy time to help strengthen her neck muscles. Her Dr told me this at her 4 month appointment.

Re: ? about how babies hold up their heads....
One of the ways babies get better at head control is by spending lots of supervised time on their tummies. Maybe she just wasn't getting enough tummy time and that's why she's not as good at it.
It was hard for us too because Jake hated it but little by little he got better at it.

My friend had that problem with her daughter. The baby would always look to the right so the Dr said to start putting the tv or what ever she was looking at on her left to get her to turn her head. They started that when she was about 3 months old and she is fine now (she is 6 months old now)
