What your baby understands in the first 3 months
Focussing on objects and distinguishing voices

The newborn baby

Your baby can focus on your face and recognize it if you place it less than 12 inches away from the time she is 36 hours old. She can also distinguish your voice from all others.

Four weeks

If you put your face close to the baby's and talk to her, she will mimic your movements by opening and closing her mouth. She will also start recognising you as a source of comfort and stop crying when you pick her up.
 

Six weeks

She will smile back at you. Her eyes will be able to follow a moving toy.
 

Eight weeks

She will focus on a brightly coloured object held above her head after a few seconds and then follow it with her gaze as you move it from side to side.
