Your baby is getting more physical and more curious by the day. And physical changes are helping him or her navigate the world better and better.
It’s typical for 7-month-old babies to:
- Begin to sit with support from his hands and eventually to sit without any support at all
- Have full-color vision and improved distance vision
- Track moving objects even better (try moving toys in and out of his range of vision to see if he follows you)
- Support her own weight on her feet, when you hold her up
- Transfer objects from 1 hand to the other and use a raking movement to pick up objects His fine motor skills are improving
- Begin to respond to “no” (though not always in a positive way!)
- Find objects that you partially hide
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.
