My daughter was lifting her head up and holding it up without support seconds after being born. She had no trouble lifting and holding her head up for long periods of time at all. Whereas my son could lift it for a couple seconds didnt really learn to hold it up until he was about a month-two months old.

Mine was doing it right away, literally minutes after he was born. But I would say 3 months is probably average.

It depends on a lot of factors, there's no right answer. My son was able to lift his head right after birth (and rolled over at 6 days) whereas some kids may take a week or month or more.
