Baby's development at six months
- A Short Article Packed with
Useful Information
Your baby should now be eating (or at least trying) 3 small meals a day. This
can be any thing from chips to mashed carrots and potatoes. Encourage your baby
to eating little snacks also such as crisps or rusks this will make up for what
he doesn't eat at meal times. Although sweet foods is OK in moderation be careful
he doesn't develop a sweet tooth or he may refuse to eat proper foods instead
try him with bananas, and mashed fruit and vegatables. His drinking should now be a
few bottles of milk and a few bottles of baby juice.
He will be able to sit up now without any support. His legs are stronger and
will take steps when held up right. Now is a good time to get him a baby walker
to encourage him to use his feet. If you lie him on his front he will attempt
to lift himself and turn himself onto his back.
Playing will be the only thing on your baby's mind now. Playing-turn-games
is a favourite with all baby's. Let him start and mimic his noises then in return
make babbling and animal noises not only are you teaching him but you are making
him laugh.
Attention seeking is second nature to him now. He picks up on all your reactions
to the things that he does. If you leave the room and come back as soon as he
begins to cry he will expect this all the time and for years to come.
His communication skills are soaring including squeals, babbles and may even
repeat one syllable words like ma, ba, da. This is the age where you will hear
his first word usually ma or da which will leave you fighting over which one
of you he spoke to first.
Your baby's sleep pattern will have improved greatly this month spend less
time sleeping during the day and more at night sleeping through the night more
regularly
