Congratulations. Your infant is now 6 months old and
developing into a little person. He or she is learning new motor skills and
discovering the world around him or her. Developing hand-eye coordination is a big step
for your baby, and starts with hand-to-mouth motions.
Your baby is not necessarily hungry when he or she puts things into
his or her
mouth. He or she is exploring new objects.
It is important to provide your child with a variety of safe
materials to see, touch, and put in his or her mouth. He or she will enjoy simple, safe, brightly colored
toys such as balls and blocks the most. Placing him on her stomach on the floor
or in a playpen is essential for developing visual and motor skills, such as
reaching and grasping objects. Alternating positions
