0-6 months
Enjoys social interaction
What to Expect
Baby likes being talked to and played with. Shows enjoyment through smiles, coos, and body movements.
Warning Signs
Does not respond to play; Seems uninterested in people; No change in expression
At-Home Strategies
- Play simple games like "how big is baby? - soooo big!" while raising baby's arms up, watching for smiles and excitement.
- Sing action songs with hand movements like clapping or waving. Telugu songs with repetitive motions help baby anticipate and respond joyfully.
- Make different facial expressions (happy, surprised, excited) while talking to baby and observe their delighted responses and attempts to interact.
- During baby's alert times, sit face-to-face and have "conversations" - you talk, pause for baby to coo back, respond to their sounds enthusiastically.
