Child 2 months - development and psychology

In the second month of life, the crumbs gain about 800 grams and grow 4 cm. In their regime, the phases of feeding, sleeping and waking are still preserved, although the babies start to get slightly less sleep than immediately after birth. The physical development of the child at 2 months and his psychology are being improved at a great pace. At the age of two months, the youngsters can boast of the first serious achievements: they delight the surrounding with a conscious smile, curiosity and a desire to play.

Physical development of the child from 2 to 3 months

Unlike the period of the first four weeks, the baby can already keep a head upright for about half a minute, and placing the baby on his tummy and placing the bent handles under the chest, you can see how he tries to lift it. Do not worry if your baby does not try to perform these simple movements, according to pediatricians at this age, this is quite normal.

In addition, the carapace begins to capture random objects. While he does it involuntarily, but just a month later the crumb will start to please you with the fact that he will take beautiful and melodic rattles purposefully.

Psychological development of an infant in 2 months

In this area, the karapuz also has something to brag about. On the question of what kind of psychological development a child should have for 2 months and what he should be able to do, doctors explain: to answer a smile to mom and dad, and also be able to keep a look at the toy. And if the first skill is visible without checks, then the presence of the second can be determined by playing with a crumb. To do this, you need to put the baby on the back and show him a beautiful toy. Then slowly the rattle is translated from side to side, and the interested karapuz will follow the toy with a look, slightly turning its head behind it.

In addition, the development of the child's psychology in 2.5 months implies the beginning of the manifestation of the first sounds. Beginning with the second month, you can hear a 60% of babies, and 95% by the end of this period.

Features of child development in 2 months

English psychologist T. Bauer identified several interesting facts of the development of toddlers of this age. In his opinion, the most entertaining subject for visual examination in a child is not the rattle you showed, but the face of mom and dad. Do not be surprised if after a few turns of the head behind the toy, the crumb will start to stare at you. Now for him, your face is the most interesting puzzle in the world.

In addition, children of this age have at least 4 types of smiles, according to which you can learn to understand their emotional state. They show relief (when the crumb was worried, and then calmed down), joy, friendliness and special attitude (a smile that is addressed only to my mother).

So, the psychology of a child of 2-3 months, just like physical development, will present to moms and dads a lot of unexpected and interesting moments that one month ago it was impossible to assume. During this time, the kid will not only learn to meet his family's smile, but also say his first "aga".
