Baby`s
development
At four months
At
four months old your baby is beginning to form his own
personality. He is now settled in his surroundings and
knows everyone around him. He will be making more noises
now and will be reaching out to greet you every time
you enter the room.
Your
baby is now able to see things at a greater distance
then before and will be amazed if watching the TV.
Milk
will no longer be enough for you baby`s growing appetite
you may want to start introducing a variety of foods.
Start off slowly and remember your baby will not like
all foods so don`t take this as a sign that he does
not want to eat. Instead each meal time try him with
something different until you have found the food that
he likes.
His
hands are the only way he can grasp what is around him.
If you place a small object on his stomach he will try
to grab it. If you give him a rattle he will shake it
and will be fascinated by the noise that it makes.
Physically
your baby is getting stronger each day and can control
his heads movement. Lie him on his back and he will
be able to roll onto his stomach. Your baby can now
sit up right when supported without his head dropping.
Your
baby is learning to communicate with you through little
gurgling noises and facial expressions. He will mimic
any mouth movements and is trying to talk back to you
and will repeatedly open and close his mouth like a
fish.
There
are many things that you can do to help your baby to
develop and learn:
Sit him in a bouncer with a play gym over it.
Give him toys that are colourful and that have things
on that he can feel and grab at.
Give him a mirror he will be amazed with his own reflection.
Play him music. You may even hear him making noises
to fit in with the rhythm of the music.
Put the telly on for half an hour while you do the dishes
or have a little break.
Your
baby will now be getting into a sleeping pattern and
most baby`s at four month old sleep throughout the night
for up to nine hours. Which means that you will be able
to predict his sleeping pattern during the day usually
in the morning and late afternoon for two hours at a
time.
