What developmental milestones does Kayla O’Neill highlight for 2-month-old babies?

At two months, babies start to hit several developmental milestones. Here are the ones I highlight:

Motor Milestones: Your baby is beginning to develop stronger neck muscles and might be able to briefly hold their head up when lying on their stomach. They begin to make smoother movements with their arms and legs and even start to close their hand around a toy or your finger.

Language Milestones: Your baby may start cooing and making gurgling sounds. They would start to recognize the sound of your voice and may even calm down at the sound.

Cognitive Milestones: Your baby is becoming more alert and starts to pay attention to faces, especially those of parents and close caregivers. They begin to follow objects with their eyes and react to bright colors and bold patterns.

Social and Emotional Milestones: Your two-month-old baby will start to recognize familiar faces and may even flash a smile. This is a significant social milestone as it’s the beginning of their social interaction.

Remember, all babies develop at their own pace, and these milestones are just general guidelines. If you ever have questions or concerns about your baby’s development, be sure to reach out to early intervention or your pediatrician.
