What should a child do in 2 months?

Each mother closely follows the development of her newborn baby and the state of his health. Any deviation from the norm can cause her serious anxiety and fear. To once again not worry about how your child develops, you need to objectively evaluate his knowledge and skills every month.

At the same time, it should always be remembered that each baby is individual, and small deviations do not at all indicate serious problems. In this article, we will tell you what a child should do in 2 months if he develops normally both physically and mentally.

What should a baby be able to do in 2 months?

In 2 months of life a healthy child can do everything that is reflected in the following list:

  1. Most kids are already quite good and confidently keep their head. In a normally developing baby, everything that happens around causes a very large and genuine interest, so he can for a long time be in the arms of a mother or father and carefully study the surrounding objects, turning his head in different directions.
  2. The baby explores the environment not only with the help of sight, but also with the help of hearing. One of the things a baby should do in 2 months is to react to sound stimuli. As soon as the crumb catches a familiar loud sound, for example, the voice of the mother, he immediately turns his head to the side where he is coming from.
  3. The child has significant changes in the emotional sphere. By 2 months, most babies begin to smile consciously in response to the adult's kindly attitude toward him. In addition, the crumbs are seriously developing facial expressions and intonation. Some babies no longer just cry, but even utter the first sounds remotely resembling human speech.
  4. What a young woman must know at 2 months is to focus her mind on a certain subject. Particular attention for two-month-old children is usually used by the mother and father's faces, as well as contrasting black and white toys or pictures. It is for this reason that one can be suspected that the child has improperly developed the organs of vision or the nervous system.
  5. Finally, if the baby has no neurological pathologies and, moreover, he was born on time, by 2 months he must undergo physiological hypertonia, so that he can perform arbitrary movements of the upper and lower limbs.
