Key Takeaways

  • At 6 months, early communication is emerging. Your baby is starting to babble and respond to voices, laying the groundwork for speech and interaction.
  • Movement is becoming more coordinated. Rolling and pushing up during tummy time help build the strength needed for sitting and later mobility.
  • Curiosity drives learning. Reaching, grabbing, and exploring objects (often by mouthing) supports sensory and cognitive development.
  • Social connection is growing. Smiling, laughing, and engaging with familiar people are important signs of early emotional development.
  • Small skills now support bigger milestones later. These early behaviours form the foundation for communication, play, and independence in the months ahead.
