My son is 06 months old. When I extend my arms as if I want to lift him up, he is not extending his arms in reflex. How should I teach him this skill??

A. by 6 or 7 months of age infants may begin lifting their arms up in response to the approach of a parent to be lifted up But this can even be later by 12 months

Q. #asktheexperts My 1month old son gets up as soon as we put him on his bed. I feed him, then rock him in my arms, sing him to his sleep and when i finally put him on his bed, he gets up within a minute. If i pick him up again on my arms, he’ll sleep. He sleeps fine in arms or laps but its not possible to keep him there all the time. This is more problematic during night time. Please advise.
