She/He's sensitive to everything.
Your baby’s world right now
More familiar every day.
Babies use many of their senses to get to know their mothers while they are still in the womb. As your baby takes in everything in the "outside" world, she uses that information to communicate with you.
Your baby’s nutrition
Some fussiness is fine.
All babies are fussy and gassy at times, but if it seems your baby has more frequent fussiness and gas than you think is normal, she could have milk-protein sensitivity.* Reactions can include:
Two months old, and she’s already telling you like it is.
Right now, it’s all about the body language.
Your baby cannot speak yet, but her body is speaking to you loud and clear, if you know what to look for.
She is seeking ways to adapt to the world. For example, sleeping is one way she learns to organize her life: When she’s tired, she "turns off" the environment, conserving energy to grow.
She is giving you permission and feedback. Watch her closely and you will learn how much or how little stimulation she can handle, and when she is ready for talking, feeding, singing, or playing. Her actions will say it all.
Sleep patterns and tips.
To help her get used to falling back to sleep on her own, gently place her down in the crib while she's groggy but still awake.
Next month’s developments
She not only holds her head up, but she can hold other things too!
