Baby`s
development
At three months
Your
baby is now beginning to settle into a regular routine.
You will be able to time his feeds, his sleep and this
means that you have the choice to help change the pattern
to suit you. If you want your baby to sleep more at
night you will be able to keep him awake longer during
the day. You will also notice more changes to your baby
such as laughing, holding objects for longer periods
of time, trying to chew on objects and not to mention
that this is when your baby`s crying eases. (Ah heaven).
Your
baby can see objects from 15 to 20 feet away and can
focus on objects held 16+ inches above his face.
You
will be increasing your baby`s food now and you may
even want to start your baby on solids. Yogurts, mashed
bananas and baby food will not harm your baby but if
he is not ready then don`t force him he may be happy
with just breast milk or formula. Talk to your health
visitor before you decide on put your baby on solids.
Your
baby now knows what his hands are and will be using
them all the time, sucking his thumb, trying to grasp
at objects and pulling at your hair. He can bring his
hands together and likes to watch his hands.
Lie
your baby on your chest and he will try lifting himself
up to look over your shoulders. He will try shuffling
around the floor when placed on his front. Sits erect
when supported at the hips. When lying on his back he
will constantly be kicking his legs and flapping his
arms about. With a mighty effort, baby can raise his
chest, supported by his arms, when he lies on his stomach.
He can put weight on his legs when held up right.
Your
baby is now responding to all of your reactions. Smile
at him and he will smile back make himlaugh and he won`t
be able to stop. He is also able to mimic your actions,
stick your tongue out and he will do the same. He also
knows who everyone is in his environment he certainly
knows his mother, father and any siblings and even grandparents
that are in his life a lot.
At
this point you might want to start thinking of letting
others help you out. Let your partner bath, feed, settle
baby. Let your family and friends help you. Remember
you also need lots of rest and as your baby grows he
will demand more of your time
