Your baby is of 10 months now – 2 months to go for her first birthday, and your baby has already started to understand you much better now. When you say “pass me the ball, pleaseâ€, your infant may not reply but may do what you askher to do – she passes the ball to you. She even waves goodbye to you when she sees you leaving. Your kid is getting smarter – wait for the surprises for this week.Language Development
Your baby is trying her best to become vocal every passing day. Your wait may be over on week 40, when your infant would say some word apart from “mama†and “dada†that makes some sense. Many of her babble would sound meaningful to you. Soon your baby would start baby-talking more often with the help of more than two syllables. You may also find your infant taking names of other family members – week 40 is loaded with amusing surprises from your kid.
Infant’s Brain in 10 Months
This is the time your baby start to follow your gazes. Your baby would try to look at things that you are looking and would want to know that you know. If you are holding your baby while looking out the balcony at a bird flying from one tree to the other, even your kid would express interest in what you look at and she will peer in that same direction. You should take your baby along with you and try to point at new things, name them, and talk about such things. This boosts your child’s language development and also you become her Google as you answer all her queries about any information related to new things – you also gain your baby’s trust in your sharing of information.
Memory Skills Grow
Your lovelet’s memory is getting better day by day. Your baby can remember a lot of familiar faces, for example, she can still recognize the face of a relative she has seen a month ago. Your baby also remembers her toysand can figure out which one she should keep at home and which one she should take to the park. But do you think your baby can remember tomorrow what you have said today? Mostly no, as the memory skills are still in the growing phase. Though you can always start teaching some crucial discussions, teach what is right and what is wrong, and set certain boundaries.
Mimicking You
Mimicking is a great way to learn. Your baby would repeat gestures just to get your attention. Your baby is intensely watching you while you are busy in your household chores. She would even repeat sounds and try to mimic you as all her eyes are on you. You would find her trying to comb her hair or taking toys against her ear as play phone or running toothbrush across her teeth.
Motor Skills at Week 40
Your infant is gaining strength every week. Your lovely child is now more comfortable cruising around your home and is more confident in being able to pull up to a standing position. She can also stand without any support for some time. She can also hand you few things if you point at those things and ask your infant to pass it to them – their holding grips are much better than before. Few babies at 10 months start taking their first few independent steps, but most of them start at 12 months or even 18 months.
Your baby’s good sleep habits may be interrupted now with teething troubles. You have to comfort your baby by picking her up, rubbing her back, and singing her favorite song when you find her crying due to teething pain. Cold teething rings may comfort your kid. You can see a doctor if nothing helps.
