4 months together – study in detail
At this age, the baby’s favorite toy – himself. The baby is relentlessly trying to understand who he is, where he is, and what he feels. He likes to touch his face, feel his fingers on his nose, mouth, hair. By the age of 4 months, many babies can already put both hands together and play with each of them alternately.
An important feature of this period is the intensive development of emotions. At the sight of the mother, the baby expresses its joy not only with a smile – parents hear its laughter for the first time. The baby is becoming more sociable, so try to take it everywhere with you in the apartment. To do this, you can use a portable chaise lounge or stroller.
Now the baby explores the world around him through direct interaction with him. Let your son or daughter “help” you in household chores, is present at lunch or dinner, “participate” in conversations. The toddler no longer waits passively for someone to talk to him or smile at him. He seeks out faces on his own, then smiles, babbles and makes us smile back.
Learning to understand each other
By the fourth month, the baby is establishing contact with the people around him. The little man is ready to smile at everyone, but the happiest smiles are for parents. He responds to their attention, enjoys playing games and talking, actively gives his voice and babbles. All of these are signs of desire and readiness to communicate.
It is a mistake to think that a child does not understand the speech addressed to him. All the “necessary” information he draws in your intonation. In response to the words addressed to him, the baby begins to “hum” and smile. Sometimes it is hard to understand who – the adult or the baby – is more active. As a result, a closer connection is established between child and parents than ever before. During this period, there is a very rapid development of speech skills. The baby spends a lot of time practicing its new abilities.
By the end of the 4th month, it is easy to distinguish between vowels and consonants in the baby’s speech, among which the most common are the rough “m”, “b”, “p”. Their appearance in the active speech of the baby among the first are not accidental: because the baby sucks the mother’s breast, he already has well developed muscles of the lips, through the work of which we later enjoy the first “ma-ma-ma. Now it becomes obvious why, in different languages, the word “mother” has almost the same sound.
Although “talking” is an important stimulus in a child’s development, it is by no means the only way of communicating with the child. Both adults and children can access the language of mimicry, gestures and various actions. For example, a baby can show his reluctance to go to sleep.
It has already been said that you should not be afraid to “spoil” the baby by constantly rocking him in your arms. Do not worry about it now, but three-month-old should be helped to learn to fall asleep on their own. Show imagination and patience. To make the ritual of going to sleep pleasant and understandable to the child. When putting your baby to bed, be calm, cheerful and confident, try to talk and smile.
Motor skills of a 4-month-old baby
A 4-month-old baby is often referred to as a “grabber” – his hand skills are becoming more advanced. He begins to palpate, take, throw objects, tries to reach for a toy lying next to him. Most children in the fourth month of life are able to reach out and hit the hanger attached to the crib.
Their actions are carried out in a certain sequence: the child strikes the hanger, freezes looking at the result of his action, cries out animatedly and then resumes striking with increasing force. The child’s desire to see something new and unusual shows his or her ability to behave more consciously and purposefully.
In terms of motor skills, children of this age noticeably differ from each other. Someone may already be able to turn from your stomach to your back, while some babies are still limited in their movements. But do not hurry and try to teach your child what he has not yet grown to in his development. Stubbornly train only what the baby knows how: turn your head, pull up, lying on your stomach and leaning on your forearms, straighten legs.
See, hear, feel…
In addition to interest in one’s own hands, the baby is noticeably more interested in the objects that fall into them. Now he is able to hold an object longer and examine it closely. If the baby put a rattle in his hand, he will first look at it, and then bring it to his mouth. When you hold an object in front of your baby, he tries to grasp the object with both hands.
The infant shows the ability to anticipate events that are going to happen. For example, when he sees his mother’s breast, he immediately stops talking. Obviously, in the child’s mind, a connection is established, based on a certain stereotype. The breast he looks at is not just a visual image, but something that should be in his mouth to satisfy his hunger.
Along with becoming aware of the function of the objects around him, the baby will acquire the ability to react to their disappearance. The baby will follow the moving rattle and look intently at the place where he/she last saw it. The baby is trying to recall the trajectory of the rattle, but does not yet understand that you cannot look at it and bring it back.
At the same time, a strong link is established in the child’s mind between what he sees and what he hears. He turns his head at the sound of his mother’s voice. His attention is attracted by the ringing of a rattle, and the baby can almost completely turn around to see it. The list of favorite amusements is topped by musical toys, radio, tape recordings and even the pounding of the metronome. The baby will turn toward any source of noise.
The baby’s fists are almost completely unclenched and he begins to actively explore objects with his hands. To prolong the pleasant sensation, the baby will rub the edge of the soft blanket with his/her thumb, on which his/her palms are sliding. Now the baby is not passively enjoying himself. He is actively looking for new pleasant sensations.
Activities with a 4-month-old baby
Talk to your son or daughter at every opportunity. When telling something, change intonation, speak loudly and quietly, quickly and slowly, laughing or, conversely, calming your baby down. When it is his turn to “say” something, wait until he finishes his “phrase” and then repeat his “speech”. The more often you talk to your baby, the more he will “talk” to you. Try to call him by his name. When singing a song or reading a rhyme, replace the words “baby, baby” with the baby’s name.
A baby likes to listen to music, especially rhythmic music. Let him listen to a tune that has a clear rhythm to it. Try clapping your hands to the beat of the music or do it with wooden spoons or a tambourine. Listen to music fast and slow, loud and quiet. After a while, your child will learn to notice changes in rhythm.
Put your child’s favorite child on a cuff with a bell sewn on it, and gently shake the child’s hand to look at it and notice the bell. Then place the cuff on the other hand and shake it again, this time a little harder. This exercise will help your baby get to know his/her body parts better and develop hand-eye coordination.
To make your baby pronounce different sounds more often, sing him or her songs in which a particular sound dominates. If you don’t know these, use “Soundman,” by A. Usachev, and rearrange short verses from this book to any tune. Learn a few songs that end in an unexpected way, and sing them to your baby. After listening to the song a few times, he will know there is a surprise waiting for him at the end. One such song is the game song “We were driving along…”
Continue to introduce your baby to different types of surfaces. Make a pair of cloth gloves, using a different type of fabric for each finger. Put the gloves on your hands and let your son or daughter touch each finger.
The child’s physical development
The child now wants to use his or her physical abilities as much as possible, so he or she especially likes hitting a variety of objects with his or her hands and feet. Attach a suspension to the crib with toys that start to jingle or sway and spin after hitting them. Arrange the baby so that he can reach the toys first with his hands and then his feet.
Take the child’s hands and pull them gently toward you, so that they raise their torso, and then gently lay them back down. This exercise strengthens the abdominal muscles and at the same time allows you to see the world around you in a new way. To help your baby learn to crawl as quickly as possible, place him or her on your stomach on a hard surface. Stand behind him and put your hands on his feet. He will feel comfortable crawling as he pushes his legs away from your hands.
Between 3 and 4 months of age, most babies begin to roll over. At first, they tend to roll from stomach to back, then from back to side, and finally from back to stomach. Help your baby develop these new skills. Put your arm under your baby’s shoulders and gently rock him or her from side to side. When your baby is lying on his side, rock him gently and let him try to roll over on his own.
Practical Tips
We like to look while sitting: A child likes to look at the world around him from different angles. (It is easier to talk to Mommy and Daddy and watch their movements when they are seated.) Every day, sit your baby down for a while so that he can lean on something. Use a special child seat or high chair. As your child learns to balance, you can put him on the floor and cushion him.
Flat surface: Lay your baby on a hard flat surface, dress him very lightly, and let him play for a while. The clothes do not interfere with his movements, and it allows him to do gymnastics.
Learning to reach: Put your child in a child seat and hang some interesting toys on a string in front of him. He’ll want to reach over and grab them. Attach a crib or playpen with a hanging device (pendant) with toys. The baby will be especially happy if the toys make noise.
Learning to grasp: The baby is improving her grasping skills and at the same time learning to reach for toys. Keep a supply of rattles of different sizes to help him exercise. Touch the rattle first to your baby’s left and then to his right hand. Bring the toy close to your baby and let him grab it. Lift it high, then bring it close to the baby and then pull it away again. As the child learns to grasp, it improves eye-hand coordination.
Door Swing: For children of this age, it is a good idea to arrange a swing by suspending it from the door frame. A child is already strong enough to sit on the swings, but can’t get out of them yet. Your child will enjoy rocking back and forth while talking to you.
Playtime
Now that your child is awake most of the day, try to make sure he has a chance to play not only with toys, but also with people. Both are important to your baby’s development.
New discoveries
Play hide and seek: Play hide and seek with your child. Try covering your eyes with your hands first, then his. Cover your head with a blanket and look out, shouting “Ow-ow-ow!” Baby is sure to enjoy both versions of the game.
Toy rolls down the slide: Build a small cardboard slide in the playpen. Show your child how a toy on wheels rolls down it. This activity is your child’s first example of cause-and-effect relationships between phenomena.
Bubble Watching: Your child still loves to watch bubbles float slowly through the air. When your child is in the walker, show him how to blow bubbles. Your baby will shriek in delight as he watches the process.
Record your baby’s voice on a tape recorder: Record your baby’s babbling and let him listen to it. Also record the voice of mom and dad and let your baby listen to it. Observe how your baby will react when he notices your voice coming from the tape recorder.
Brightly patterned sock: Now your baby is interested in exploring his body parts. Put a brightly colored sock on his foot. At first the baby will just look at his foot, but after a while he will grab it. This will be a big win for your child.
Fabric ball: Make a ball by cutting several strips of fabric, each 8 centimeters long. Tie them together and wrap another ribbon on top. The child will enjoy holding the ball in his hands and feeling the different fabric. Also, funny cloth balls with a bell inside are sold in baby stores.
Development of coordination
Tussle with your baby: It’s time to wrestle and tussle with your baby a little. Grab your baby by the waist, lift him up, toss him up, then lower him down and hold him in a standing position.
New Perspectives: Place your baby on a mat with his belly down and tuck a pillow under him. This exercise strengthens neck and arm muscles.
Little frog: Lay your child on his stomach and do the following exercises with him: bend his knees, straighten his knees and spread his legs apart, bringing his legs together. While doing the exercise, you can hum a song.
Rolled blanket: Spread a blanket on the grass and place your baby on the edge of the blanket, belly down. Grab the ends of the blanket and gently lift it to help your baby roll over from his tummy to his back. Reward him for his efforts with a kiss and a big hug.
Arms up and down: Lift your baby’s arms up and down, cross and then spread them apart. Hum a song while doing this exercise.
Toys that are hard to reach: If your child learns to move by crawling or wriggling and fidgeting, put toys where he can’t reach them. Soon your baby will realize that in order to get a toy, you must not only grab it, but also crawl to it. Don’t disappoint him. If the child cannot reach the toy within a few seconds, put it next to him.
Do exercises while singing a song: Lay the baby on his back and, while humming, make circular motions with the baby’s hands. Then raise and lower the baby’s arms. Next, take the baby’s sides and gently turn first to one side and then to the other. Continue repeating the motion, chanting the same motif, but with different words. After this, lightly press your hands on your baby’s tummy, then gently lift its legs and shake them. Continue to sing to your baby the songs you sang earlier. Remember that your baby loves both new and familiar songs.
Decision Making
Two toys: Put a toy in each child’s hand that can squeak. Rubber toys are better for this, so your baby can squeeze them easily. Observe whether he will look at a hand that makes squeaking noises. When the baby is older, he will learn to squeeze both toys at the same time.
Scarf bracelet: Attach a brightly colored silk scarf to a plastic ring and tie it around the arm of the chair. Your child will grab the ring and watch the scarf move up and down. He will soon find other ways to make the scarf move.
Ring chain: Make a chain by tying several curtain rings together. Hang it over the crib or on the back of a chair so the baby can reach it. After a while he will find that if you pull the chain, the rings will bang against each other and jingle. This will give your baby great pleasure.
Daily activities
Dressing Time/Bath Time
Double rattle: Tie two rattles together with a thin ribbon, giving them a dumbbell shape so that the distance between them is about 10 centimeters. Give your child one of the rattles in your hand. The baby will try to grab the second rattle, and it will distract him while you change his clothes.
Strengthen back and abdominal muscles: When your baby is naked on the changing table, gently run your fingernails over his belly. Observe how the muscles contract as you do so. Turn the baby over on his stomach and run your fingernails along his back. The baby will arch his back and raise his head.
Powder massage: After bathing, gently powder your baby’s body with baby powder. Talk to your baby gently during the massage. It is better to put some powder on the palms of your hands and then wipe them around the baby than to sprinkle it directly on the baby’s body. This protects the baby from inhaling the powder.
Feeding Time
Show the spoon: If your baby is starting to eat solid foods, show it to your baby before spoon-feeding.
Lip and Tongue Exercise: Drop some food on your baby’s lips. When your baby tries to lick it off, he will stick his tongue out as if he is going to make some sound.
Time to Rest
Favorite Toy: Put a stuffed doll or toy animal in your baby’s crib. Try to always put the same toy. Gradually the baby’s mind will make the connection between the doll and sleep.
Rock in a rocking chair: Rock in a rocking chair with your child. It will be a wonderful rest for you and your baby.
Lullaby: Babies love the soothing rhythm of lullabies. Sing the same song to your baby after a feed and at bedtime. The baby will get used to the lullaby and it will become a kind of pleasant bedtime ritual.
