POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. A 4-month-old baby typically shows several exciting developmental milestones. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Physical Development:
Head Control: Baby can hold their head steady without support and may begin to lift their head and chest while lying on their stomach.
Rolling Over: Some babies start rolling from tummy to back or vice versa.
Grasping Objects: Begins to reach out, grab toys, and hold onto objects with more coordination.
2. Social and Emotional Development:
Smiling and Laughing: Smiles more, often in response to social interactions, and may even giggle or laugh out loud.
Expressive Communication: Makes more cooing sounds, babbles, and may even start to imitate sounds they hear from others.
Interest in Faces: Loves to look at faces, especially familiar ones, and recognizes parents and close family members.
3. Sensory and Cognitive Skills:
Following Movements: Can track moving objects with their eyes and turn their head to follow people or toys.
Improved Vision: Begins to see further and in more detail, including colors like red and green.
Curiosity and Exploration: Shows interest in surroundings, may try to touch different textures, and puts objects in their mouth as part of exploration.
4. Language Development:
Babbling and Vocalization: Starts to experiment with sounds, making soft "cooing" sounds and maybe even squeals or chuckles.
These milestones vary, and each baby develops at their own pace, so don’t worry if your baby hasn’t reached all these milestones just yet. Always check with your pediatrician if you have concerns about your baby’s development.
