What changes will occur in your baby during the third month?

The baby's healthy development is very rapid. Parents don't even have time to record the baby's development before they have to watch the baby grow up. Generally speaking, the baby's growth rate is very fast, and there are huge changes almost every month, which makes parents very surprised and excited. For example, what changes will the baby experience in the third month? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

This period is when the baby's physical development is the fastest. The weight increases by about 1 kg per month, the height increases by about 4 cm per month; the head circumference will increase by about 1.25 cm.

During this month, the Moro reflex and stepping reflex will gradually disappear. Most of the reflexes your child has ever had will peak and begin to disappear at 2 to 3 months; after the reflexes disappear, he may be temporarily inactive, but his movements will become more detailed and purposeful, and will develop steadily towards maturity. By the end of the month, he could even kick himself from the front to the back with his legs. He will look at his own hands carefully, clasp his hands together and play with them in front of his chest. But at this time his hand-eye coordination was uncoordinated, he seemed clumsy, and often could not reach the toys. The development of hand movements is also called the development of fine motor skills. Around this time, as the grasping reflex disappears, children begin to grasp unconsciously, which marks the beginning of the development of hand movements.

In terms of hearing, the baby has developed rapidly and has a certain ability to distinguish directions. After hearing a sound, the baby can turn its head 180 degrees following the sound. He has also made certain progress in language. When he is teased, he will be very happy and laugh cheerfully. When he sees his mother, a sweet smile will appear on his face, and he will constantly make babbling sounds from his mouth. His pronunciation has increased, and he has begun to make different single sounds. He can make clear vowels, such as ah, oh, and wu, as if he is speaking his heart out to his mother. Face to face with your baby, let him look at your mouth shape, repeat these single sounds, and let him imitate.

Whether the baby is lying down or being held, parents should use talking or toy sounds in different directions beside the child to encourage him to turn his head and look for the object. And play beautiful music for him often, but the duration should not be too long. When the baby speaks automatically, parents can listen carefully and respond to it, just like talking to the baby. Parents can talk to their babies in different tones, such as a kind and gentle voice, an imperative voice, excited shouting, etc., so that the baby can distinguish different tones, make different responses, and promote his ability to perceive language.
