At 2-3 months, your baby understands that voices and faces go together – especially yours. That’s because your baby has formed a strong attachment to you. Your baby might follow you with their eyes and enjoy smiling at you. When you speak to your baby, they might even echo you back.
Your baby is starting to look more closely at objects like small blocks and toys, and their eyes can follow objects moving in a circle or in an arc over their head.
Around this time, your baby might still cry and fuss – this is a typical part of development and will pass in time. Crying and fussing usually peaks at around 6-8 weeks and starts to settle around 12-16 weeks.
Your baby is starting to communicate with you in new ways. For example, your baby’s cry when they’re hungry might be different from when they’re in pain. Your baby will still use facial expressions and body language to try to tell you things too. Your baby might start laughing. By 3 months your baby might even ‘coo’.
By now your baby is probably showing emotions like interest, disgust, distress and enjoyment.
Your baby can probably bring their hands together. Your baby’s hands will be open most of the time now, and your baby might like opening and closing them. Your baby is also starting to use their hands and eyes together and might even reach for your face or swing their hands towards an object.
