Developmental Milestones for Baby: Fourth Month

There is a general development plan which shows parents when each milestone is achieved. For example, babies start to smile in sixth week. However babies laughing in forth week or still unsimiling in second month are not exceptions.   

Development milestones are an important guide to see if your baby's development is on track or not. Before taking a look at milestone lists, please keep in mind the effect of environmental factors in baby's development and that each child has different rates of development.

Your 3-month-old has far more head control at this point, so when you hold your baby upright, they will hold their head right in the center. If you put your 3-month-old on their tummy, you'll find that the baby really picks themselves up now and rests their support on their elbows. 

Your three month old is making far more noises now. There'll be more cooing and more gurgling. You may find that your three month old now turns in the direction of sounds, so if you're having a conversation on one side of the room, your three month old may turn to look and listen. 

The vision is further developed. Recognizing more complex designs and may recognize you from further distance. But the best part is the giggle. You can get a full belly laugh at this point. These are some fun and interesting things to cool for during the 4th month of life.
