✨ First month

This is the month of adaptation, when the baby gets used to a new world for him, its sounds, smells. His mother's hands and her touch, affection and gentle voice become a stronghold of reliability for him. The baby sleeps a lot in the first month of life. And this is important, because it is in a dream that growth hormone is produced.

A baby who is one month old can:

* keep your eyes on a person's face;

* react to the voice: he freezes or begins to wave his arms and legs vigorously;

* shouting to report your discomfort: hunger, wet diapers, pain;

* keep your eyes on a rattle or other brightly colored toy.

✨ Second month in baby's first year

The kid already feels more confident in the new world. He recognizes the mother, can "count" her emotional state. A two-month-old child knows how to smile at an adult in response to his smile. He follows the movement of the object with his gaze, recognizes the voice of his mother, "coos" when they talk to him. If you put a rattle in his hand, it will shake it.

✨ Third month

By the end of the third month, the baby is confidently holding his head, he loves to examine bright objects and toys. He smiles at his family, shows a complex of revitalization when they talk to him and smile at him. In the prone position, the baby raises his head. He can be able to roll from belly to back. A toy placed in a hand will be looked at with interest by the kid, just like his own fingers.

✨ Fourth month in baby's first year

This is a transitional period. The child tries to attract the attention of adults more often, he can look at toys for a long time. The baby's movements are becoming more and more confident, he can grab the toy he likes. By the end of the fourth month, the baby can be able to respond to his name, roll over from his stomach to his back and back, reach out with his hand to the object of interest.

✨ Fifth month

The kid becomes more and more active, he is interested in what is happening around him. He studies subjects carefully. He smiles a lot, listens to sounds and learns to pronounce some syllables himself. When he lies on his back, he examines his arms and legs. Holding the toy to his mouth, he tastes it, studying in this way.

✨ Sixth month

The baby's behavior is becoming more conscious every day. It is easier for parents to understand when a child is happy or upset. At this age, the baby knows how to shift the rattle from hand to hand, examines objects. He can already learn to sit and get up on all fours. At the sight of strangers, he is alarmed.

The first year of a baby's life flies by quickly and unnoticed. Only yesterday he was born, and today he can walk and say "mom". It is important to observe your baby, pay attention to his new skills, and praise what he has learned. If something goes wrong, then it is worth talking to your pediatrician about it. In the first year of life, he examines the baby monthly, noting whether his skills are appropriate for age and normal development. The main thing that children at any age need is the love of their parents.
