Medical Video: Guide To Baby Milestones - 4 To 7 Months | Best For Baby
The voice and expression of the baby continues to develop with the number of smiles, laughter and chatter. Your baby can also follow sound, which is an important ability to learn to speak.
How do babies communicate
Babies of this age start experimenting with sounds they can make. Your baby will spend time trying to chatter and learn to follow sounds. Don't get me wrong, this is the first step for your baby to talk and you should support him as much as possible.
If you listen carefully, you will hear your baby's voice rising or falling like asking questions or making statements. Your baby will get used to using sounds (other than crying) to get your attention and express his feelings.
Your baby will begin to understand the basic communication using language. As a child, your baby understands the meaning of your tone of voice: soothing sounds mean calming, restless sounds telling your baby that something is wrong.
Now, your baby will begin to choose the components of your speech and can hear and understand the different sounds you make and words to make sentences. In this period, babies will learn to respond to their names, they may be silent when they hear the word "no", and will start connecting words with familiar objects.
What do I need to do?
Babies at this age really enjoy games and vocal interactions. Your baby will feel happy when you follow the murmur and chatter. Follow the sounds of "bah" and "guh" spoken by the baby and follow by saying simple words in the same tone of voice.
Start the "conversation" and wait for the babble to get "answers". This discussion is the first step to teaching the baby the first word and the initial conversation. Ask your baby questions, and respond enthusiastically to whatever answer your baby is saying.
Introduce babies with simple words that are related to everyday life. Names of familiar people, objects, and activities. Babies understand the word before they can say it, so use words and reduce using "baby language".
When you talk to your baby, slow down your pronunciation and emphasize each word - for example, say: "Do you want toys? This is your toy, "when you show the toy to him. Then wait for the response. Talk and then be quiet to wait for the answer to teach the baby that this is the time he answers, while teaching that the conversation is done alternately.
Do I need to worry?
At the end of 7 months, babies are usually:
- Can respond to their name
- Can respond to the sound they make
- Can repeat consonants
- Can follow the sound you make
Remember that what can be done at this age is very different for each baby. If you are worried about your baby's language development, you can consult your doctor:
