Baby Step Journal : Month 6
Your baby is limited in the ways she can play with toys and items she finds around the house. To avoid her getting bored and beginning to throw tantrums, do your best to create variety by taking her to new places, introducing her to new people, and challenging her by making simple additions to her existing toys. Encourage and support her growing self-awareness by using her name frequently and identifying her possessions and those of other family members.
At six months, you can begin to wean your baby. Pediatricians recommend starting with a simple and finely textured rice cereal with milk. Dumex Nutrakids Fine Cereals is the best choice. New tastes will provide marvelous sensory experiences. Be prepared for a glorious mess when you first start feeding your child. Don’t dwell on the mess. If you focus on the fun, you will pave the way for an adventurous appetite and a lifelong love of food.
Motor Skills : Month 6
Gross Motor Skills
Your baby has good control over her body. She can bear her weight on one hand when lying on her tummy, and when you hold her she can take her weight on straight hips and legs and bounce up and down. She will help pull herself up and can stand while being supported. She can roll back and forth from her tummy to her back, and will tuck her knees up as if to crawl, rocking backwards and forwards on her knees. She sits unsupported which is great as her hands are free to play and reach for objects. She may be able to get herself into the sitting position unaided. She uses touch to distinguish between the textures of objects and enjoys a variety of different tactile sensations.
Fine Motor Skills
She uses her thumb and fingers to hold objects and will grasp using the palm of her hand. She will still overextend her fingers and grasping requires her full attention. She can hold two objects together simultaneously and coordinates her movements to bang them together to produce a noise.
She picks up objects, holding on to one while reaching for another, and is less likely to drop them. She can feed herself but much of her food will end up all over her face, hands and even her hair. She distinguishes between near and far objects and the space in between and judges distances more accurately. She uses one object to get another like pulling the cloth under a toy to bring it closer to her.
Language : Month 6
Your baby is listening to her own sounds and those made by others, and may say “dada” and/or “mama”. She says several sounds in one breath and tries to imitate sounds and their sequence.
She starts new conversations, anticipates repetition and may say repeat word after you have spoken it to her. Vowels and consonants are used randomly but she speaks using clear single syllables with actions, and may use double syllables. Her cries have changed and she uses low and high pitches, as well as a new nasal sound.
She begins to understand the meaning of “No” and she responds with understanding as you talk, especially if you associate your speech with actions. She enjoys making noises, blowing air through her mouth while quickly flapping her lips (blowing raspberries) and uses her mouth in new ways to generate sounds.
Emotion : Month 6
She likes being with other babies and will reach out to touch and feel them. She may cry if you leave her with someone unfamiliar so make sure you give her time to adjust to being with strangers or people she doesn’t know well. She remembers the faces of people she sees frequently and she clearly recognizes the facial expressions that represent different emotions. She anticipates and loves activities like bath time and bedtime if you have established a routine of playing with her in the bath, or reading to her or giving her cuddles before you put her to sleep.
What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 6
New Objects
Your baby can only do limited things with objects such as banging, rattling, throwing and dropping them, so she will soon get bored playing with the same toys and objects. Let her play with household items so she can practice adjusting her grip, touching new surfaces, and manipulating a variety of weights using her hands and arms.
You can attach strings to her toys so she learns what happens when she pulls them. You don’t need to buy new toys: your baby is just as happy with plastic cups, spoons, bottles, paper, and saucepans. Remember that she will still try to place the objects in her mouth so make sure there are no sharp edges or small parts.
How Can You Help : Month 6
- Create variety in her environment: new people, toys, and experiences.
- Encourage her to move her body to crowl and sit up.
- Let her feed herself.
- Show her lots of physical affection – she continues to learn what this feels like and how to give love to others.
- Teach her about herself by naming her and her things, like asking her “Whose teddy bear is this?” Then you can say, “That’s Jasmine’s teddy bear”.
- Play touching games by letting her touch you and explore your face.
- Make funny faces in the mirror with her watching and then get her to copy you.
- Blow bubbles and have her try and catch them.
- Show her an object, then hide it and have her find it.
