Your baby lifts his head up when lying on his tummy. His hands can grasp a small rattle, and he has started laughing.

  • Give him textures to feel – a sponge, velvet, something hard or soft.
  • Allow your baby to lie on his tummy on a firm surface to encourage him to lift his neck.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
He communicates with face and body; smiles, frowns, grimaces.

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
He follows moving objects; recognises objects and people.
