Sleeping and eating patterns should become more predictable now. You may notice your three-month-old discovering new ways to communicate with you and discover the world … touching, feeling and grabbing everything within reach!
He recognizes Mommy and is interested in others' faces
She knows if something is familiar
Lying on his tummy, he can support himself on his elbows and raise his chest
She turns her head toward a sound and watches you as you speak
When toys are placed in his hand, he can grasp them and wave them around
She can swipe at an object but does not reach for it

Help your baby learn more:
Demonstrate activities your baby can't reach yet—playing music or making something rattle or move.
Help your baby learn the connection between actions and reactions. Put baby's hand or foot within reach of the dangling toys. From there, it's bound to happen: baby's hand or foot will connect and activate a fun response from the toy!
Encourage your child to explore by pointing out colorful activities and describing features. To build memory skills, switch the position of dangling toys from time to time; your baby is likely to notice the change.

Help your baby learn more:
Music, please. Extend the benefits offered by a mobile's music by playing music for baby at other times of the day and in different settings.
Sing or hum along. You'll find that as you do, your baby becomes more vocal too.
What do you see? Try looking at the mobile from baby's point of view. Change its position once in a while, or change your baby's position so she gets a new view.
Make the connection. Right from the start, your baby will listen to and respond to your voice. Use this connection to point things out about the mobile—the colors, the movement, the characters that dangle from it.
Children develop at their own pace and reach milestones at different times. The highlights mentioned in this website are approximate guidelines only. If you have any questions about your child's development, consult your healthcare provider.
