Baby development at 7 months

In the development of the 7-month-old baby, it is likely that he will already be able to voluntarily crawl, crawl or roll towards a distant object, and pass objects from one hand to another with ease.

At 7 months the baby should already be able to cry loudly and make high-pitched sounds and start to express his wishes with irritation. With regard to language, you should start having fun forming syllables with some vowels and consonants, such as "give-give", "shovel-shovel" or "bad-bad".

At this age, the baby likes a doll that can bite, hold and hit and adopts him as his companion. He still does not interact very well with other children, although he enjoys watching them.

It is at the end of the seventh month that he starts to develop his memory, being an important milestone to start learning more from his own experiences.

The teething of the 7-month-old baby consists of 2 lower central teeth, although it is not uncommon for some babies to have no teeth until 12 months, or to be born long before 7 months.

Each baby has its own pace of development, so it is important to respect it. In addition, it is essential to take the baby to the pediatrician regularly for him to assess his growth and development.
