A. By 3 months, a baby usually recognizes a parent's voice. By 6 months, babies can usually turn their eyes or head toward a sound. By 12 months, babies can usually imitate some sounds and produce a few words, such as "Mama" or "bye-bye."

Q. My baby is only 4 months old. He is looking at people and smiling. Looking at the direction of the sound but sometimes it does not look at the sound. Trying to grab a toy but sometimes not even looking at it. He looks at the people and makes a hu hu hu sound. But sometimes looking at one side makes a hu hu sound. He plays with his toes in his mouth and he is very salivating. His hair is falling out a lot. I'm very worried. And he looks with wide eyes. Do I need to see a doctor? plz tell me
