Holding up her own head

My baby girl is now 4 weeks old today! She is really starting to hold her head up now. When does that normally happen?? It seems a little soon for her to be doing this?

My son was holding his head up by 1 week. Made me sad. I told him he was not suppose to do that. I want to cry cause he is growing up so fast. He is 5 months.

Ooooo thank you! I'm just shocked that she's so good at it already lol. She's trying to grow up too quickly! I tried looking it up too, but I couldn't find the answer lol.

My son did it too, he was so curious looking around, my daughter started at 6 weeks, I guess some babies do it sooner and some later, when I was searching online when do babies start to hold their head I didn't find specific time, it usually said they start to hold their head when neck muscles r more developed so there's no specific time for it :)
