What are the developmental indicators for a six and a half month old baby?

Generally, a baby's physical development is relatively complete when it is six and a half months old. At this time, the baby will use objects to knock on some things by himself, can eat some foods that he could not eat before, and understand some things. However, many new mothers do not know much about the developmental standards of babies at six and a half months. So what are the developmental indicators for babies at six and a half months? I hope that through my introduction, parents can gain some understanding.

Boys: Height 61.4-75.8cm; weight 5.97-11.72kg; head circumference 39.8-47.7cm.

Baby girl: height 60.1-74.0cm; weight 5.64-10.93kg; head circumference 38.9-46.5cm.

Overview of Intellectual Development at 6 Months

1. Body movement and control: When attracted by a toy, the baby can turn over continuously (for example, he can turn from prone to supine and then to prone)

2. Exploration and manipulation: The baby starts to knock on the table with small objects.

3. Language: Babies often make some consonant syllables (such as baba, papa, mama, dada, didi, etc.)

4. Social adaptation: The baby starts to feel unfamiliar with others. For example, a baby will be unhappy when a stranger holds him or her, but will be happy when the mother holds him or her.

1. The baby gradually learns that some things cannot be eaten: Although he still likes to put things in his mouth and chew them, with your constant teaching, he has understood that some things are not delicious.

2. The baby's awakening time is prolonged, and mom and dad should play more games with the baby: By the 7th month, the baby's sleep is gradually decreasing. The baby can use a large period of time during the day to learn new things, eat complementary foods, and communicate with the mother. Don't let the baby stare at the ceiling all day long.

3. The baby's bowel movements are still unstable: As complementary foods are added, the baby may suffer from constipation or diarrhea. Parents should carefully identify and adjust the complementary foods according to the baby's bowel movements.

4. Don’t give your baby medicine casually: Pay attention to your baby’s diet and hygiene, and add or remove clothes in time. The baby is a fresh and tender life. Many discomforts are functional and can be recovered with timely conditioning. Don’t go to the doctor or take medicine at every turn.

A 6-month-old baby can already see himself in the mirror and "chat" with another self. When looking in the mirror, the baby will smile and touch the mirror with his little hands. If the baby's motor skills are well developed, he or she can now sit independently for a while without help. If there is a toy in front of him, the baby can "capture" the toy by himself. Even if it is a relatively large ball, the baby can use his two chubby hands to hold it in front of him.

The above are the developmental indicators for babies at six and a half months old. Some babies may not have reached these indicators yet, but parents do not need to worry, because some babies develop relatively slowly. The above is for reference only. Babies can learn new things and start eating complementary foods when they are six and a half months old. They cannot be breastfed for a long time, otherwise it will have a great impact.
