What movements can a 4-month-old baby do?

Every change in the baby after birth is watched by the mother. Because many new mothers do not understand the baby's growth and development very well, sometimes their judgment of the baby's physical condition is not very accurate. As the baby grows up day by day, he acquires more and more skills, from being able to lie down to crawling and then slowly learning to walk, he learns everything little by little. Next, I will tell mothers what movements a 4-month-old baby can make.

When a 4-month-old baby lies on his tummy, he may do a push-up, then turn his head to one side and suddenly turn himself over. Although most babies can roll over at 4 months old, there are still some babies who still can't. Don't worry, mothers. When the baby learns to roll over depends more on his personality rather than developmental delay or stupidity. Active babies like to straighten their bodies and arch their backs, so they can easily learn to roll over at an early age. Quiet babies are content to lie down and look at interesting objects. They roll over less frequently and usually don't roll over until they are 5-6 months old.

Babies at this stage can generally roll from prone to side, or from side to side. They usually learn to roll from prone to supine first, and then from supine to prone.

2. 4-month-old babies like to play with their hands

At 4 months old, my baby's interest in playing with his hands has greatly increased. Because of the development of vision, the baby's eyes can guide his hands to accurately grasp the objects he wants to touch, and his hands are his most convenient toys. Sucking fingers and fists is a favorite hobby of 4-month-old babies. In order to relieve the gum pain during teething, hands become the best tool for babies.

During this period, most babies cannot grasp accurately with one hand. Give a baby a toy, and you will find that most babies will stretch out both hands to hug the toy, as if to pull the toy towards them. If he misses his target, the hands will touch each other and continue moving towards his mouth. When the baby grabs a toy, if you move the toy and the baby doesn't grab it, he probably won't continue because in the baby's current consciousness, the toy cannot move.

1. A game of grab and shake. Buy toys for your baby to grasp and shake, such as rattles, 4-inch-diameter rings, dolls, and cuddly blankets.

2. Sit and catch game. Hang a cute toy in front of your baby and watch him grab it.

3. Toys that can be kicked. Tie balloons, rattles, and toys that make nice sounds tied with string to your baby's ankles and let him kick them for fun.

5. Warm reminder: 4-month-old babies like to grab and take things, and their movements are as fast as lightning, so don’t give your baby the opportunity to grab dangerous things, such as hot drinks and sharp objects. Mothers should also not take hot drinks or dangerous items when holding their babies.
