Pillows will do, or you can sit her on your lap with her head against your stomach. Just make sure she's in a safe place, away from the sofa's edge or anywhere else she could take a dive. If you're a runner, avoid taking your baby out with you in a jog stroller until she masters head control. When you think she's ready, pick a jog stroller that has a five-point harness, which offers the most support. When to be concerned If your baby seems to struggle to lift her head up even slightly at 3 months, mention it at your next pediatric visit.
Babies develop skills differently, some more quickly than others, and head control is no exception.
