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.)

6-month growth and development standards

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.

Kind tips

1. A 6-month-old baby gradually learns that there are some things he cannot eat: 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 awakening time of a 6-month-old baby is prolonged, so mom and dad should play more games with the baby: By the 7th month, the baby's sleep is gradually decreasing, and the baby can be used for a long 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 bowel movement of a 6-month-old baby is still unstable: As complementary foods are added, the baby may suffer from constipation or diarrhea. Parents should carefully identify and adjust the complementary food according to the baby's bowel movement.

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.

5. Epidemic prevention reminder: Your baby needs to be given the third dose of hepatitis B vaccine this month.

Six-month-old babies are generally in a stage of rapid growth and development, so mothers must pay more attention to their diet and actively supplement their children with some nutrients. At the same time, children this month should be able to laugh and sit independently for a while. Therefore, if parents find that their children are developing slowly, they must take them to the hospital for examination.
