What are the baby's developmental indicators at two months?

Newborn babies are very difficult to raise, and we don’t know how to take care of them. But slowly after two months, it will be much easier than when they were one month old. However, we cannot relax at two months. We need to arrange feeding time for them, and we cannot feed them endlessly. So what are the developmental indicators of a baby at two months?

The development of a baby's abilities mainly refers to the comprehensive development of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, language, emotions, and social skills. However, the focus is slightly different for each baby at each age, which is also related to the baby's own developmental characteristics.

The basic abilities of a 2-month-old baby include:

Abilities that should be mastered (most babies can do it): can make "gurgle" and "coo" sounds; eyes can track objects within the field of vision; pay attention to their own hands; can hold their heads up for a short while.

Developing abilities (half of the babies can do this): smile and laugh out loud; can lift the head 45%; movements are more stable and continuous.

Advanced abilities (only a few babies can do this): can hold head up steadily; can support body weight with legs; can hold head and shoulders up when lying on prone.

Starting from this month, it is best to regularize your baby's feeding time. Generally, the interval is 3-4 hours, increase the amount of breastfeeding each time, feed 5-6 times a day, and feed at roughly the same time. From birth to one year old, the baby's brain develops rapidly, increasing by an average of 1000ml every month.

Babies who are exclusively breastfed generally do not need to be fed water before 4 months old. They need to supplement calcium so that the calcium can be passed to the baby through breast milk, allowing the baby to grow more healthily.

Babies who are bottle-fed need to be fed water once between breastfeedings because milk contains more minerals that the baby cannot fully absorb, and the excess minerals must be excreted through the kidneys. In addition, bottle-fed babies must be guaranteed adequate water supply.

The above is a detailed introduction to all parents. So when your baby is two months old, he will add some body movements. Although he cannot speak yet, his expressions will be richer, and he will not be as sleepy as when he was one month old.
