At
four month old your baby is beginning to form his own personality.
He is now settled in his surroundings and knows everyone around him.
He will be making more noises now and will be reaching out to greet
you every time you enter the room.
Your
baby is now able to see things at a greater distance then before and
will be amazed if watching the TV.
Milk will no longer be enough for you baby`s growing appetite you
may want to start introducing a variety of foods. Start off slowly
and remember your baby will not like all foods so don`t take this as
a sign that he does not want to eat. Instead each meal time try him
with something different until you have found the food that he
likes.
His hands are the only way he can grasp what is around him. If you
place a small object on his stomach he will try to grab it. If you
give him a rattle he will shake it and will be fascinated by the
noise that it makes.
Physically your baby is getting stronger each day and can control
his heads movement. Lie him on his back and he will be able to roll
onto his stomach. Your baby can now sit up right when supported
without his head dropping.
Your baby is learning to communicate with you through little
gurgling noises and facial expressions. He will mimic any mouth
movements and is trying to talk back to you and will repeatedly open
and close his mouth like a fish.
There are many things that you can do to help your baby to develop
and learn:
Sit him in a bouncer with a play gym over it.
Give him toys that are colourful and that have things on that he can
feel and grab at.
Give him a mirror he will be amazed with his own reflection.
Play him music. You may even hear him making noises to fit in with
the rhythm of the music.
Put the telly on for half an hour while you do the dishes or have a
little break.
Your baby will now be getting into a sleeping pattern and most
baby`s at four month old sleep throughout the night for up to nine
hours. Which means that you will be able to predict his sleeping
pattern during the day usually in the morning and late afternoon for
two hours at a time.
