Your baby is getting much stronger and is developing vital communication skills that are helping you both bond! It’s typical for 2-month-old babies to: - Have different cries for different needs, such as fatigue and hunger
- Add more sounds to communication
- Respond to talking and smiling; turn to you when you speak
- Have better head control and, during tummy time, to hold the head up longer and maybe even push up on the arms
- Focus on more objects and faces, maybe even tracking movements from side to side, as vision gradually improves
- Start to explore hands and put fist in mouth for comfort
Just remember: All babies are different and develop at their own pace. Developmental milestones occur over a range of time because of this. If your infant hasn’t yet reached some of these milestones, it doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong. | | | | Talk with your baby’s healthcare provider about any developmental concerns, including if your baby ... - Does not notice or play with her hands.
- Does not begin to follow movements.
- Does not respond when spoken to, and does not coo or gurgle.
