RUTHANNE TREGASKIS
Preparing your Home
2to 5 Months
From two months to five months your baby development truly awakens. Movement commences
for your baby. You’ll see this first in baby’s ability to support his head. Soon movement progresses
to rolling over and sitting with support. Baby’s hand activity progresses from the grasping reflex,
to holding a toy and passing it from one hand to the other. During this time you’ll be enchanted
by baby’s first smile, melodious, soft cooing followed by baby’s repetitious squealing and
babbling. There is much to prepare for in support of this time of awakening development.
As baby develops his capacities of his hands and body and as his language also continues to develop
your baby simultaneously develops in natural pathways of independence that are supported by his
experiences, growth and development.
Soon your baby will be sitting with support and showing interest in the solid foods eaten by you and
his family group. These are a few of the indicators that you can add a weaning table and chair for baby
with an adult stool for you to your home. The accessories to weaning are an important addition to
enable the process of weaning to proceed with ease for you and your baby.
The preparation of the home wholly supports the awakening of your baby’s development through
sensorial exploration, baby’s hand capacity and movement, the development of language, and support
of baby’s steady gains of independence.
