Useful Information

Between 3 and 6 months, your baby changes rapidly: he keeps his head straight, grabs objects, brings them to his mouth and discovers that he can communicate with sounds and smiles. It is a period of discovery in which every gesture becomes a way to know himself and the world.In this phase he develops: - body control: he can lift and keep his head erect, to move better and to look around with curiosity.- hand-eye coordination: he grabs objects, observes them, passes them from one hand to the other and carries them to his mouth.- discovery of sounds: vocalize, laugh, experimentation with different tones in response to the adult voice.- interest in the environment: it follows the movements, observes familiar lights and faces, recognizes the parents' voice.Here's what you can do with the child: - Play with your hands: offer him light and safe objects, of different shapes and materials, that he can grasp and manipulate.- Respond to his vocalizations as if it were a conversation; it helps the development of language and confidence in communication.- Sing and telling: nursery rhymes, songs and lullabies give rhythm and predictability, and are excellent For sound memory.- Tummy time every day: short belly down moments (supervised) strengthen shoulder and neck muscles.- Looking in the mirror: intrigue and promotes body awareness.- Walks and natural lights: change environment, show colors and shadows.

Every child has his time: some grasp first, others speak later. Investigate more thoroughly by talking to the pediatrician, only if: - he does not stare or follow with his eyes; - he does not react to loud sounds; - he always remains soft or stiff in his movements. In these cases, talking to the pediatrician is used to understand if he needs a little extra support.
