J's a freak and could lift his head from newborn! Even the MWs were surprised. He has a lot more control of his head now. We've been doing tummy time on a mat for a couple of weeks now. Also he like to lie on his front on me, supports himself with his arms and looks up at me. That's why I got the jumperoo now because I think it's only gonna be a week or two and he can go in it.

Ella is the same! Holding her head up the first night in hospital!! She is quite a strong little madam though and is already trying her best to sit forward if she is in the car seat or bouncer!

G can do it for quite a while too. I remember my brother being shocked at my neice doing it early, and mum saying we could both do it before we left hospital.

He used to try and do it around 2 weeks but didn't get strong at doing it until about 6 weeks when he had his check up xxx

In hospital she could hold her head up - MW said bigger babies often are better at holding it up i suppose because of all the flab to help them or something lol x
