4 month old baby
Your 4 month old baby working on lots of new physical skills from
grabbing toys to doing her imitation of a turtle on its back. Baby may find her
feet such fun toys that always available.
If you put your 4 month old baby on her tummy, she'll work on pushing up her
head and chest, as well as flipping over onto her back, where she'll begin to
lift her head and shoulders if you gently pull her up. All this helps her build
the muscles she'll need to sit up on her own.
As long as your 4 month old baby has good neck control, try propping her in a
seated position. If she slumps down or slips sideways, it's too soon. If not,
you can assume she's comfortable and ready. If she does start fussing or
slip-sliding away pick her up and try again another time.
You ask lots of questions with 4 month old baby then follow up with answers. Yup, you're
talking to yourself, but you're also modeling the give-and-take of conversation.
While keeping up a steady stream of speech helps your baby beef up on
vocabulary, she also needs time to try her own hand at talking. When she starts
yakking, pause, look at her face and really listen as she tries to master an
"mmm" or an "ahhh." She'll be delighted that you're paying
such close attention.
