She/he is nervous to learn about her world and family, and she may not always be interested in your choice of game. If she/he turns his/her head and looks away, she/he is announcing she/he is ready to move on to something else.

She/he may also be able to keep his/her head steady, and in line with the rest of her body, when he/she is drawn up to a supported, seated position. This is also an important time for your baby to have quality belly period a few times a day. If an 11-week-old baby spends too much time on the back, the baby may develop flat head pattern, which can potentially delay the development of the motor skills and strength needed to complete many early tasks such as rolling over, sitting up, and pushing up.
