  Your Baby at 6 Months

  Boys Town Pediatrics

  Milestones is an exciting and important way to track the development of your baby.

  Here are some things you might see your baby doing around 6 months of age. 

  Your baby can:

  • Roll over in both directions, front to back and back to front
  • Sit without support
  • Support his weight when standing and may even bounce
  • Rock back and forth, even starting to crawl backwards before moving forward
  • Grasp and study small objects

  At 6 month of age, your baby's language and communication skills continue to develop.

  Your baby can:

  • Respond to sounds by making her own sounds, sometimes making sputtering sounds with her lips and tongue
  • Experiment with different volumes and pitches of sounds while making sounds to show happiness and displeasure
  • Respond to her name

  Every child is different. Some of these behaviors and milestones generally occur at certain ages, however, a wide range of growth and behavior for each age is normal.

  Remember, if you have any concerns about your child's development, check with your pediatrician.
