3 month old baby

3 month old baby pushes down on legs when feet are on a firm surface. Let your 3 month old baby stand for a few seconds with some help from you. Hold him/her in a standing position with his feet on the floor and he/she will push down and straighten his/her legs. Let him/her bounce a couple of times if he tries.

3 month old baby may swipe at dangling objects and may grasp and shake hand toys. Your 3 month old baby is learning hand-eye coordination. Lay his/her under an infant gym and she'll throw her whole body into batting and grabbing for the dangling toys. Hold a toy in front of his/her while baby sitting on your lap and let his/her try to reach for it.

Your 3 month old baby is a full-on social animal and will charm you and your visitors with lots of eye contact, hand gestures, smiles and delighted baby ‘talk’ when they are happy and when you take turns in a baby conversation with them. You might even be rewarded with your baby’s first chuckle. Of course there are still everyday ups and downs and your baby will be sure to let you know when they’re annoyed or uncomfortable by crying. If they have been suffering from colic in the first three months you may have been struggling with a lot of crying and fussiness, especially in the evenings, but you’ll be relieved to learn that colicky symptoms usually start to ease off around now.
