Baby\’s development standards refer to a series of milestones that your baby\’s physical and cognitive abilities should reach within a specific age range. Understanding your baby\’s developmental milestones is very important for parents to help them understand their baby\’s growth process and detect possible problems in time.
1. Social and emotional development: At 4 months, babies begin to show interest in their parents and interact with them through smiles, gazes, and vocal responses. They can also express interest in objects by touching and grasping them.
2. Motor development: At 4 months, the baby\’s head control ability gradually increases and he can sit on his own for a period of time. They are able to roll over and try to support themselves with their arms and legs, trying to crawl or roll forward. Additionally, they may begin to experiment with grabbing and holding small objects with their hands.
3. Cognitive development: At 4 months, babies become more curious about their surrounding environment and begin to notice different colors and shapes. They are able to track moving objects and become interested in sounds and noises. Babies can also explore the texture and shape of objects through touch and grasp.
4. Language and communication development: At 4 months, the baby begins to make some syllables and express his needs and emotions through crying, babbling and sounds. They will become interested in human language and begin to try to imitate some simple sounds.
Understanding these developmental milestones can help parents better care for and support their baby\’s growth. If your baby has delays or problems with specific milestones, it\’s important to seek prompt advice from a doctor or specialist. Every baby develops at a different rate, but understanding general developmental standards can help parents better understand their baby\’s growth process and provide the appropriate stimulation and support to promote their development.
