Head and neck control

[Olive]

you can roll up a small blanket and place it under his chest to prop him up a little, maybe try tummy time in front of a full length mirror if you have one so he can check himself out!!

Thanks Olive - we have tried the towel thing. I definitely helps, but he still cries and fusses (and ends up giving the towel a good suck!)

Oh - I forgot to add that the reason this is important is that DS has a long head. Essentially the opposite of flat head - the sides of his head are flattened from too much time on either side. Thankfully at least the flatness is symmetrical. So getting out of working on neck control isnt an issue. Anyone else out there had a bub with a "long head"?

My DD2 had a long head the doctors put a fancy name to it at her 6 week check up but i cant remember what it is...was very noticable at first but now her head has rounded out somewhat, she also hated tummy time but now has great head control
