3 month old, first week
Your baby may be strong enough now to do a mini push-up when he's lying on his tummy. Over the next few weeks you will notice that as his muscles strengthen, he will be able to lift his head and shoulders clear of the floor and look around as he does so. You can encourage him by letting him spend short periods every day on his stomach on a play mat on the floor. Gradually he will learn to transfer his weight from his forearms to his hands to lift himself even higher. Remember though, this head-up position is tiring and he won't be able to hold it for long at first, no matter how much he wants to see what's going on around him.
