Does Movement Of Head Cause Spinal Damage In An Infant?

Thank you. I have a 4 month old great granddaughter with Spina Bifada Mylomagengasil. Her mommy is putting her in a little seat in which she slumps forward because she cannot keep her head up for very long. She will throw her head back to see something. Could this cause her any spinal or neck damage? email address: YYYY@YYYY
