Why can't a three-month-old baby follow the sound?

Babies grow and develop differently, and each baby will show different characteristics. Therefore, it is difficult for parents to use universal standards to measure their baby's development. For example, some babies can walk at 11 months, while others have to wait until 18 months to walk. Some babies will show the reaction of chasing sounds earlier. Let's take a look at why a three-month-old baby can't chase sounds?

As the baby grows older, he or she becomes more sensitive to hearing and vision. From about 3 months old, parents can start playing bells or mobile phone music or other noisy things nearby to observe whether the baby will follow the sound. If the baby does not respond, pay attention.

How to judge whether the baby can chase sounds? Because each baby's chasing time is different, there is no way to judge when the baby can chase sounds. We parents can test and guide the baby at each stage to determine the baby's chasing time. Generally, around 3 months, or more than 2 months, mothers can start holding a bell or playing some mobile phone music to attract the baby's attention, and see if our baby will turn around to look for it when a sound is heard nearby. If the baby starts to look for it, then the baby has learned to follow the sound.

What should I do if my baby can't chase sounds? If my baby can't chase sounds, it may be that the baby is not yet of age or is developing slowly. In normal times, our parents can use more toys to stimulate the baby. For example, you can take some toys that can make sounds, and then make strong sounds to see if the baby reacts, and let the baby listen carefully. If the baby reacts, our parents will walk away from the baby to another room or hide behind the bedroom curtains and let the baby find it to attract the baby and train the baby until he pays attention. Parents don't need to worry too much, the baby will be fine.

Some mothers think that their babies do not respond when they call them, and they think that there is something wrong with their babies’ hearing. In fact, it is not necessarily the case, because babies do not respond every time they are called. Parents need to make a judgment. If you are not sure, you can ask a doctor for details.
