Anna The first few months of a baby’s life are a period of rapid growth and development. By the time a baby is 2 months old, they have already undergone significant changes in terms of their physical, cognitive, and social development. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at what a baby can do by 2 months old.
Physical Development
By 2 months old, a baby’s physical abilities have improved significantly. They can now lift their head briefly while lying on their stomach, and may even be able to push up on their elbows. They also have better control over their arms and legs, and may start to make swiping motions with their hands.
Babies at this age also have better vision and are more able to track moving objects with their eyes. They may even start to focus on faces and other objects that are farther away.
Cognitive Development
At 2 months old, babies are becoming more aware of their surroundings and are starting to understand cause and effect. They may begin to recognize familiar faces, such as their parents, and will start to look for them when they enter a room.
Babies at this age are also starting to communicate more through coos and gurgles. They may even start to imitate the sounds they hear, such as a caregiver’s voice or a toy that makes noise.
Social Development
By 2 months old, babies are starting to develop their social skills. They are becoming more responsive to their caregivers and may even start to smile in response to social interaction. They may also start to exhibit more emotions, such as frustration or happiness.
Babies at this age are also starting to form attachments with their caregivers, and may show a preference for certain people. They may also start to exhibit a sense of familiarity with their surroundings and routine.
Conclusion
The first few months of a baby’s life are a time of rapid growth and development, and by 2 months old, babies have already undergone significant changes in terms of their physical, cognitive, and social development. As parents, it’s important to provide a safe and stimulating environment for babies during this time, and to take advantage of opportunities to bond and interact with them as they continue to grow and develop.
