Month 6 - Baby's development at 6 months (6 month old newborn)
I’m starting to look for contact with you and react to your gestures and words.
I’m becoming a little explorer and I’m more willing to react to my surroundings.
My speedy physical development is accompanied by my intellectual development, so I will surprise you with my new abilities this month.
I now need less time for sleep. The period of my activity will get longer due to the fact that I’m curious about my surroundings.
When lying on my stomach, I’m starting to keep my head up in a stable position and confidently prop myself up on extended arms.
I can swing back and forth and to the sides in a funny way when my torso and head are lifted up.
I can shift my weight to one side while lying on my back and I might even succeed in rolling onto my stomach.
Week 21. - What is my baby development at 21 week ?
I smile with joy and make sounds to make contact with you.
While lying on my tummy, I can prop myself up using both arms and extend one of them to grab a toy.
I’m discovering my body by touching my arms, thighs, and feet.
I can twist my wrists when holding a toy to take a look at it from all sides.
I like everything that makes sounds and has attractive, vibrant colours.
Week 22. - Newborn's 22. week - what to expect
I can figure out what your mood is, when you’re happy or sad, and I try to respond to it.
I’m efficient at rolling from my belly to my back.
When you sit me down with your support at my back, I will hold my head in a stable position.
I turn my head towards the stimuli.
The movements of my legs are not limited to kicks. When in a sitting position, I pull them towards my belly.
Week 23. - What happens the 23. week after birth?
When on my belly, I prop myself up on extended arms, putting my open palms on the ground. I will be able to turn my head to the sides in this position.
I’m becoming more agile as I’m advancing to a higher level of motor development. I will actively kick my legs and I’m able to straighten them at the knees with my hips bent.
To an extent, I can control my body’s movements. For example, I can lift my hips when you’re changing me.
I grab things and put them in my mouth. I’m especially fond of paper and everything that rustles.
My first teeth might start to come in. When you notice that my gums are a bit swollen, I salivate excessively, and put my hands in my mouth, it’s a sign that my first baby tooth will soon come in.
Week 24. - How is my baby development at 24 week?
I might show signs of being ready to start my diet expansion.
My ability to concentrate is increasing. I study different items longer than before and focus my eyes on the mouth of the person that’s speaking.
I grab everything that is within my reach. If you observe me carefully, you will notice that I start grabbing things from the side of my little finger.
I communicate with you using different sounds – squeals, screams, coos, as well as gestures, facial expressions, and crying, of course.
When you lift my up under my arms, you will notice that I put my weight on my toes.
