Now the body of your baby is growing very rapidly. If you sit your child on your lap or on the ground, he can sit a while without support.



To help your baby sit up, open her legs to form a V. This will help your child maintain balance and prevent him from toppling over. Once in this position, place a toy in front of your baby so he can have fun. Stay close - you never know - and surround your baby with cushions to prevent falls.

You can also encourage your baby to play on his stomach. And he will raise his head and shoulders to see his toys. This will strengthen the muscles of his neck and help him control his head, which he used to sit. You can also tone the legs of your baby by standing on your legs and doing a little jump.

Your child will look certainly your mouth very carefully when you speak and maybe even try to imitate your voice modulations and voiced consonants such as "b" and "m".

Soon your baby will realize where sounds are coming from. He will get used to noises of everyday life such as vacuuming or the ringing of the microwave oven, and there will pay more attention. But if they hear new sounds, he will turn quickly in their direction. To stimulate your child's attention, shake a bunch of keys or a small chime.
