What are the developmental milestones for babies from 3 to 4 months?
In terms of developmental milestones for babies, at the age of 3 to 4 months, your child is aware of different parts of their body and they have been sticking their hands in their mouth like crazy. The typical vision of the four month old is of the feet coming in the mouth - the feet are going in there and the baby is chumping on them and drooling on them like crazy. They are also more visually responsive at 3 to 4 months, so instead of just following a lot in a horizontal plane, they are watching a lot more in a vertical plane. They're going to love the mobiles, the shapes and the movements of things, because the age of 3 to 4 months is the first time in their life that they are really much better at watching things in all different directions. They're going to continue cooing, they're going to have much better neck control. 3 to 4 months is the age when we pull a child from a laying down on their back to see the position they're going to start leading with their head, because their head and neck are much stronger and they can now sit with support pretty well. The other thing that is going to happen at 3 to 4 months is you are going to see their hands stay open much more. They are not as clinched so they are going to grab things - your shirt, your hair, your face, etc. At 3-4 months, your child will not be purposely reaching for things, but they'll have developed to grabbing.
