Six months is the first serious date of the baby, a kind of milestone. Submissive lying in a crib and watching hanging toys are a thing of the past. Ahead is restless crawling throughout the house, petty pranks and the first attempts to get up.
Instructions
Step 1
The average weight of a six-month-old baby is 7.5-8 kg. Don't be discouraged if your child does not meet these standards, but pay attention to his appearance. So, if the baby looks too thin, is often lethargic and tired, feed him more often with cereals. If the child, on the contrary, is overweight, which makes it difficult for him to move, include more vegetables and fruits in the diet.
Step 2
A child in six months with might and main turns from back to stomach and back. Very often this makes it difficult to carry out various manipulations with the baby, for example, changing a diaper. The fidget constantly strives to slip out of the hands. Many children by this time are mastering new skills: sitting or standing on all fours. They confidently lift their belly off the floor and swing, standing on their arms and legs. Those who have succeeded in this skill understand that with the help of the limbs it is possible to move, they move backward, crawl on their bellies and rotate around their axis.
Step 3
At six months, the baby begins to explore the surrounding area. He tries to reach out, touch, gnaw on the object of interest. The baby's fine motor skills become more developed, and he is able to hold one toy in both hands at the same time. Gripping small objects with two fingers, and not with the whole palm, as before.
Step 4
A six-month-old baby talks a lot in "his" language, learns new sounds and forms the first syllables. He knows his name and turns around if he hears his name. At this age, children begin to use their own voice and emotions to get what they want. For example, if the parents are very busy and do not pay attention to the child, he may shout loudly, yelp or whimper. The development of a six-month-old baby allows you to introduce bans. If you see that he is reaching for dangerous objects, tell him in a stern voice: "No," and drag him aside.
Step 5
Children in six months love the company of both adults and kids. They make funny faces, make funny sounds to make their parents smile. When meeting other children, a six-month-old baby pulls hands, smiles, says something, copies behavior. A baby's emotions largely depend on the mood in the family. If the child sees that the parents are smiling, dancing, having fun, he will laugh, sway and jump without lifting his legs. If parents are annoyed and swear among themselves, the baby may cry.
