Two-month-old baby's intellectual development

Since the baby is born, almost every day is different. As the child continues to grow, parents must understand the child's physical development, which includes the very important intelligence. However, it is difficult to judge the intelligence of a two-month-old baby. This requires us to understand some indicators and compare the children's conditions based on the indicators. So, what are the intellectual development indicators for a two-month-old baby? Let’s take a look below.

Two-month-old babies will occasionally make vowel sounds similar to "a" and "o", and may also coo or dudu. He will also concentrate when his parents talk to him. If the parent raises the pitch or slows down the voice, the baby may smile. In addition, the baby can look at objects in a coordinated manner and can distinguish colors, but cannot distinguish depth. The eyeballs can move with objects within a 90-degree range. When an object approaches the eyes quickly, protective reflexes such as blinking will appear, and the baby will look at the hand for more than 5 seconds. They are very sensitive to sounds and will react differently to familiar or unfamiliar sounds. Adults can talk softly to the baby, or play some soft music, making sounds in different directions of the baby, and the baby will turn his head towards the source of the sound.

Fingers: The fingers can open and close by themselves, can be played with in front of the chest, and can suck the thumb.

Lower limbs: The baby's lower limb motor development begins at 2 months, when the baby is in the prone position and can kick alternately.

Small movements: looking at the little hands; passive grasping of the hands; grasping; persisting in "walking"; practicing.

Big movements: lift head; practice turning head; born with the ability to crawl.

Movements: During this month, many of your baby's body movements are still reflexive, for example, every time he turns his head, he adopts a defensive position.

Vision: At this point, the child still cannot see objects clearly beyond 30 cm, but can pay attention to objects within 30 cm.

Language: Imitates facial movements; makes funny sounds and can say “ah, ah, ah, ah” to himself and make vowels.

Social: This month, your child will spend more time each day observing the people around him and listening to their conversations. The baby will also have some preference for the relatives who take care of the baby. The person who takes good care of the baby for a long time will be particularly close to the baby.

Emotion: When your baby is in a good mood, make a variety of facial expressions to him so that he can gradually learn to imitate facial movements or smiles.

Cognition: visual concentration; audio-visual orientation; smell and taste training. By the end of around 2 months, due to the increase in visual and auditory connections, which have a common ability to distinguish, the baby will show a preference for a certain picture and happily gaze at his favorite poster.

Independence: Babies at this stage have already started sucking their fingers. Parents should stop them immediately, but analyze the reasons and provide guidance.

During this stage, the baby's feeding intervals become longer than last month, and his life begins to become regular. He will have regular bowel movements in the morning and sleep longer at night, gradually approaching a day and night rhythm.
