The first three months have passed... you've changed more than you thought. 🥹

Developing a three-month-old child. 👶💛

Smile better, laugh, start talking to your parents and want to learn more about the world every day.

Three months of age is when many parents start to feel that "you have grown a lot" from a baby that eats and sleeps a lot, and now you start to interact more with people around you, smiling, laughing, clamoring, and paying attention to things around you.

Although each child has different slow development, in general, three-month-olds begin to have skills in mobility, vision, communication, and emotions that develop along the way, all of which are cornerstones of future learning.

1️⃣ The movement is stronger.

Compared to the birth period, the neck, shoulders and torso muscles of the baby are much stronger.

Most 3-month-olds can

✅ Steer your head.

✅. Lift your head and chest well when lying upside down.

✅ Use your arms to lean the ground and carry more weight.

✅ Kick your legs and swing your arms harder.

✅ began to reach out to toys or items near him.

Many people start trying to flip, even though they may not be able to do so, which is a normal development.

2️⃣ The vision is much better.

At this age, your eyes work better in harmony, allowing you to see objects farther and more continuously.

3-month-olds usually

👀 Look at the toy that moves almost 180 degrees.

👀 stare at your parents longer.

👀 more interested in people's faces than things.

👀 Start looking at your hands.

👀 Like live color toys and moving stuff.

That's why you like to stare at your parents' faces when you talk, because your face is the best "toy" for your brain at this age.

3️⃣ started laughing and showing emotion.

Around the age of 3 months, many children start laughing loudly for the first time.

Besides a smile, you can

😊 Smile replied when he saw a familiar person.

😊 Laugh when playing fun.

😊 show a greater variety of facial expressions.

These emotions are not just cute, they reflect rapidly growing brain and socializing developments.

4️⃣ Start "talking" to your parents.

The 3-month-old still can't speak, but can communicate much better.

You'll start making noises, like,

💬 "Yeah."

💬 "Ah."

💬 "Ou."

💬 "Er."

When the parents respond, the children often give a response again, similar to taking turns talking.

This is the beginning of language learning.

The more parents talk, smile, make eye contact, and answer their child's fuss, the more stimulated the language brain is.

5️⃣ The brain grows every day.

During the first three months, the baby's brain quickly creates synapse connections.

Every experience you've had, whether it's

❤️. Hugging.

❤️ Smiling.

❤️ Eye contact.

❤️ Listening to your parents' voices.

❤️ Touch

All help build a healthy brain network.

So no toy is more valuable than spending quality time with a child.
