Four months.
Lying on his stomach, the baby is watching moving objects, feeling his mother's breasts. Now, when he sees a strange face, he may be afraid, or on the contrary he may be interested. Lifting up in his arms, the baby rests only on the palm of his hand, flips from back to stomach, grabs and strokes objects. He buzzes longer, and in his "songs" there appear singing and laryngeal sounds. The baby expresses his dissatisfaction with whining.
What should worry parents? The child does not turn from back to stomach, does not hold objects and does not react to strangers.
5 months The baby reacts differently to different people. He confidently grabbing objects with his hands and pulling them into his mouth. Now the baby sits well, holding on to something with his hands. If you take him under your arms, he will stand almost straight, without bending his legs.
What should worry parents? The child does not sit well or tries to sit down, does not recognize the parents.
6 months The baby already turns from stomach to back and vice versa, from back to stomach. Now he sits without support, trying to crawl on all fours. If you pull his arms up, he will rise on his legs, and if you support his chest - will make the first attempts to step from one foot to another. The baby has already grabbed the items with one hand, waving a rattle, picking up the fallen toy, starts looking for the missing items. He can laugh, whine, cry and react to other people's emotions. The boy tries to say syllables, he calls his mother "Ma" and his grandmother "Ba".
What should worry parents? The child cannot even sit with support.
7 months The little researcher's journey starts when the child reaches for his image in the mirror and is surprised at him. Now he himself lifts and pulls into his mouth a dropped bottle, becomes on all fours, crawls, sits, kneels, leaning on the railing of the crib. If you support him under the arms, he will start walking. His movements become purposeful, for example, he knows how to move an object from hand to hand, ask for handles, stretch out the hands of mom and dad. The child begins to repeat the syllables: "ba-ba-ba-ba", "mama-ma-ma".
What should worry parents? The child does not turn from stomach to back and back, it is difficult for him to carry objects to the mouth. Relying on his or her feet, he or she cannot bear his or her own weight. The baby is not happy about anything, does not hug Mom and Dad, does not watch the moving objects with his eyes, does not show any interest in the game of "cuckoo", does not bake.
Let's sum up What is necessary for a baby at the age of 4-7 months? He needs even more attention from loved ones. The kid likes to hug his parents, and this pleasure he can not refuse, because that's how he tries to win a sense of fear. Try to understand his mite, answer with words and gestures. At this age, the baby needs hard toys, but he is still useful old "friends": rattles, rings.
8 months
The kid smiles at his reflection, looking for objects, is surprised at the sight of something new. He sits down and from this position can lie down. Now the baby can stand, holding one hand, and if you support him by the hand, will make an attempt to walk. He learns to play "hands", that is, tries to clap his hands.
What should worry parents? The child does not sit, does not try to get up or can not stand for long. He is in a bad mood all the time, he is not happy with toys or the presence of parents.
9 months Now the child is already looking for a hidden or fallen object. He tries to stand without a support and walk behind a chair (grabbing the back of the chair with his hands and moving it forward). If you support him by both handles, he can sit down and kneel. The baby can already collect small objects, eyes watching the fall of objects. While eating, he tries to use... with her own finger. The child begins to master gestures, for example, shakes his head, trying to explain what he does not want.
What should worry parents? The child cannot walk, cannot stand without a support and find the hidden object.
10 months The child stands and rises without a support and tries to move, holding on to one hand. He learns to imitate the movements of adults, opens and closes the doors, takes small objects with two fingers. The child calls the objects separate, but the same simplified words or syllables. Now he is able to fulfill simple requirements and understands the prohibition.
What should worry parents? The child does not need to, does not try to walk, does not say syllables.
11-12 months At the end of the first year of life (11-12 months) the child can already impose one object on another, sits without support, bending over without sitting down to raise the object, walks well, holding one hand (11 months), makes the first steps himself (in 12 months). He knows the names of many subjects, distinguishes between body parts, fulfils the requirements, pronounces individual words: mom, dad. He gladly imitates the actions of other people.
What should worry parents? At the age of 8-12 months, the child does not crawl, crawl or crawl into one hundredth of a century.
