Your Three to Four Month old At three to four months your
baby would have outgrown his "brand-new" stage and should start
smiling at most friendly faces, especially those familiar to him.
Her neck muscles will gradually become stronger, and she will be
able to turn her head in the direction of different sounds, and hold
her head up for longer periods. Do remember, she is still very tiny
and will still need the support of a hand behind her neck and head.
Her hands will bring her much delight and enjoyment, as she now
often manages to suck on her fingers or fist. Even at this early
age, your playtime is of great importance -
The emotional feedback received at this stage, will more than make
up for those sleepless nights!
