3 MONTH OLD

• Around 3 months old your baby will start practising rocking by bringing both legs together and rolling onto one side or by twisting her body.
• When you first notice your baby is keen to rock onto her side, encourage her by giving her a helping hand.And help her tip over onto a soft surface. It will be easier at first to roll from her stomach onto her back.
• You can make this into a fun game and this will also help her neck and back muscles grow stronger.
• Your baby’s head control is much better whether she is lying on her tummy or on her back and she will probably be able to raise her head to 45 degrees giving her a better view of her surroundings.

2 MONTH OLD

• Your baby now spends more time awake and wants to exercise her limbs punching out with her arms and kicking with her legs.
• This is the month when you will be rewarded with your baby’s first real smile.
• Now that babies sleep on their back, it is important that during the day they spend plenty of time on their tummies.
• This will help them to develop head control and lifting their head from this position gives them a new perspective on the world.
• Your baby’s ability to suck will improve and she will suck on almost anything – a blanket, a dummy or her hand.
• Most babies will still want a middle of the night feed or maybe even a couple of feeds but the good news is that your baby will be sleeping for longer stretches.

ONE MONTH:Your baby may be...

Newborn Information:

• At this age a baby still has no sense of being separate from you.
• A one month old gains more control of his body and loses some of the jerky movements of a newborn baby.
• He will have increased head control but you will still need to cradle his head in your arm for support.
• Most of your baby’s behaviour will be automatic, such as sucking, grasping and turning his head towards a nipple to feed.
• By the end of the month your baby should be able to focus on a face and track a moving object about 15cm/6” above his face.
• Many experts think that babies do not smile until about 6 weeks of age.
• However, parents quickly realise that their baby smiles from the earliest days of life.
• Your baby’s neck muscles are getting stronger, which allows him to hold his head up for short periods.
• Now that babies are generally put to bed on their backs it is important that they have time to play on their tummies during the day in order to exercise their neck, shoulder and arm muscles. These are the muscles your baby will need to roll over and crawl.

ON FIRST WEEK

Just want to share with everyone.happy reading ya

• Most mammals are on their feet within days, but human beings are much more vulnerable in the first 18 months and nowhere near as capable of looking after themselves.
• In the first few weeks of your baby's development, a baby is pretty uncoordinated and shows few signs of purposeful control over her movements.
• Her muscles are weak and undeveloped and her head is extremely large and heavy in proportion to the rest of his body.
• In the beginning your baby cannot support her own head and her little muscles tend to keep her in a curled up position.
• Eventually by kicking her legs and moving her arms, your newborn’s muscles will strengthen and as her limbs grow and become stronger he will gain more control over his actions.

5 MONTH OLD'S DEVELOPMENT WEEK 1

Highlights
Homing in on sounds
A growing range of emotions
Remember, your baby is an individual

Homing in on sounds
Your baby now realizes where sounds come from, and he'll turn quickly toward a new one. One of the easiest ways to engage him is to jingle a set of keys. Wind chimes are great attention-getters, too.

Your baby may now be able to recognize his own name and understand that you're speaking to him when you say it. You may notice that your little one turns his head when you call him or talk about him with others.

If you want to engage and entertain your baby, all you need to do is talk to him. At this age, babies don't learn language from the television or radio, so turn them off and use real dialogue instead.

A growing range of emotions
Your baby can't express his emotions in the same complex way that you can. Although he can let you know in clear ways when he's angry, bored, or happy, his ability to show love and humor are just developing.

Your baby also shows a strong attachment to you by raising his arms when he wants to be picked up and by crying when you leave the room. He may also give you hugs and kisses.

And he's beginning to get the joke — he'll laugh at funny expressions and try to make you laugh, too. Keep the laughter flowing with your silly faces!

Remember, your baby is an individual
All babies are unique and meet milestones at their own pace. Developmental guidelines simply show what your baby has the potential to accomplish — if not right now, then soon. If your baby was premature, keep in mind that kids born early usually need a bit more time to meet their milestones. If you have any questions at all about your baby's development, ask your healthcare provider.

4 month-old's development.

Highlights
Sitting Pretty
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Peaceful Goodnights
Remember your baby is an individual

Sitting pretty
By now, your baby's physical developments are coming fast and furious. When lying on her back, she'll lift her head and shoulders as you reach to pull her up. If you place her on her stomach, she'll extend her arms and legs and arch her back. This is good exercise for strengthening her neck muscles, and it will help her develop the head control necessary for sitting up.

When you pulled your baby into a sitting position a few weeks back, her head lagged behind her arms and shoulders. Now, she can anticipate the direction you're pulling her, and her head will follow right along with the rest of her body. What's more, her spine is straightening, allowing her to sit unsupported, which frees her hands for exploring, and she can pivot to reach a desired object.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Your baby is adding new sounds to her language repertoire, and she may sound like a broken record. Babies this age often become so enthralled by a newfound ability that they get stuck on it for a while. This is normal — babies tend to master one skill before moving to the next.

Hearing the same sound over and over can get annoying, but practicing patience now will prepare you for the endless string of "nos" and "whys" you'll be hearing from your child soon enough.

Your baby may also watch your mouth intently when you speak and try to imitate inflections and utter consonant sounds such as "m" and "b."

Peaceful Goodnights

Following a well-established nighttime routine, which might include a bath or a bedtime story, for example, may help settle your baby to sleep. It's a good idea to consistently "sequence" your baby toward slumber: Feed her, give her a bath, put her in her pajamas, play a game, read her a book, sing songs or play some music, then put her down. A beloved routine gives you and your baby plenty of time to connect and wind down. You may decide to alternate going-to-bed activities with your partner (you do the bath, he reads the story, and so on). Or, to give both of you a regular break, try taking turns, with one person responsible for putting your baby to bed each night.
