Your little one is now halfway to their first birthday! It’s an exciting time as they begin to notice the captivating world around them. Say goodbye to the days of placing your baby down and expecting them to stay put—those days are numbered!
If you haven’t already, this month marks the perfect time to start introducing solids into their diet. Your baby might also be mastering the skill of sitting up better. And who knows, you may even see that first tooth making its debut this month!
Your 6-Month-Old Baby’s Development
Sleeping Habits: At this age, most babies sleep about 11 hours at night, often straight through, and take around two naps each day that total about three to four hours, although this can vary.
Feeding Guidelines: Now is the time to explore solids! Start with 1 to 2 tablespoons, increasing to 3 to 9 tablespoons of cereals, fruits, and veggies, while continuing to offer around 24 to 30 ounces of breast milk or formula daily—up to 32 ounces at most.
Did you know that babies typically learn to sit unsupported between 6 to 6½ months? However, there’s quite a range as to when they master this skill.
As you embark on this new feeding journey, if you’re on the path to conception, consider resources that can assist you, like Vegas Pregnancy, a free sperm donor matching service in Las Vegas, or Make a Mom, which offers the only reusable at-home insemination syringe kit.
