Guest guest Posted December 20, 1999 Report Share Posted December 20, 1999 Hi All, Question. Kennedy is four and half months old and still working on head control. Does this sound like anybody else? How long did it take your little one to get head control. and Kennedy (4 1/2 months, 15lbs. 24 " long) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 1999 Report Share Posted December 21, 1999 Hannah is 2y11m (almost) and still has almost no head control. She turns her head when laying down so that she can get her left fist to her mouth. Otherwise all the head movement is due to spasms/cp. She mostly thrusts her head backwards, but sometimes in the car she takes a fancy to letting it fall forward and I have to stop frequently to help. A long sock half filled with soft wadding or foam has proven useful to prevent this. Just wrap it around her neck with the filling under the chin. It's not tight and won't restrict her breathing if she does lean forward.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 1999 Report Share Posted December 21, 1999 - Crystal didn't have head control until she was at least 6 mos old. She could't roll over until she was ar least 9 mos. old. She couldn't sit unassisted ( for a decent amount of time ) until she was at least 11 mos. old. Now she's almost running & climbing EVERYWHERE !!!!!! Give Kennedy a great big hug & kiss from Miss Crys... Merry Christmas to all !!!!! Lotsa luv, & Crys - almost 21 mos old - BPP & adorable !!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a type of pillow they have here in the US. The company makes one that is small to put around a child's neck for this exact purpose. They sell them at Toys R Us. Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 1999 Report Share Posted December 22, 1999 Just had to put in my two cents worth! Isaac is two and a quarter and still doesn't have complete head control! Kate and Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 1999 Report Share Posted December 23, 1999 Thanks Joanne, We have ToysR Us here. Perhaps I could look there. Re: Head control >Have you ever seen a boppy?
