3 months baby’s nervous system continues to grow every day, and stomach increases day by day. So, now you will notice that your baby starts to eat more and eventually it will significantly increase the chances to finally get more rest at night.
If your baby wakes up in the night and starts crying, wait for a few minutes before you feed him with anything! Most often, babies stop crying and fall asleep after a few minutes. But if the crying does not stop after a few minutes, try to do all the moves quietly, and if possible, without making switching on the light in the room. The idea is making your baby realize that night is to sleep.
3Conversation
During this period language and speech begin to take shape. Therefore, it is advisable that parents must stimulate them through games and specific activities. In addition to they should involve their baby in a constant communication.
You can expect some intellectual or thinking and force applying skills from a baby of this age. He can now raise his head when lying on the tummy with a little effort, even shoulders, especially when it is held on tummy on your chest.
You will get to see many hand and foot movements; controlled and organized. You will see your baby opening and closing his fists, stretching and grab things or toys with his hands. This actually tells that he is now developing the coordination of hand and eye, and he will hit with more power.
He turns his gaze and head after hearing familiar sound. He will develop his own language and take out new sounds, especially vowels “a” and “o” as answers to what he sees, hears or feels. You can expect him to find his own ways of soothing himself like sucking his own finger or fist.
I remember, how my daughter used to discontinue sucking her own hand at my little interruption; an immediate pause and she used to imitate my facial expressions.
At this age, you can notice remarkable progress in your baby’s way of conversation; when tired or annoyed, turning his head left and right and avoid direct eye contact. He will express his every feeling, be it the feelings of joy, sadness, nervousness or anxiety through body movements and gestures. When bored with an activity or a game, he will starts to yawn or he will make all sorts of sad faces to give you to understand how he feels.
