What are the developmental standards for a baby over 2 months old? The height (cm) of male babies over 2 months old is 52.2-65.7 (average 58.7), weight (KG) is 3.94-7.97 (average 5.68), and head circumference (cm) is 35.2-42.9 (average 38.9). The height (cm) of baby girls over 2 months old is 51.1-64.1 (average 57.4), weight (KG) is 3.72-7.46 (average 5.21), and head circumference (cm) is 34.5-41.8 (average 38.0). It is compiled based on the Ministry of Health's "Reference Standards for Growth and Development of Children Under 7 Years Old in China".

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:

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

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

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

Babies over 2 months old need to pay attention to the following in terms of diet:

1. 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.

2. 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.

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