Stepping on the age of six months, the baby's development in gross motor skills, fine motor skills, communication and language as well as social and emotional can be improved with the right stimulation. So, in general, a 6-month-old baby can already do the following:
Consuming solid food
A 6-month-old baby can already be given solid food to accompany breast milk (MPASI). At this age, babies generally open their mouths more often when faced with food. Even his interest in this food can be seen when he wants to take food. So, it's rarely surprising, mom, if babies at this age often put objects or their hands in their mouths.
Start learning to crawl
Babies at 6 months have stronger arm and shoulder muscles than before. So that he has started learning to crawl at this age, they will make movements such as lifting their bodies, lying on their stomachs while lifting their heads and chests.
Your little one can sit

Clever chattering

Moving objects
Moving objects or toys they hold from one hand to another is one of the habits of 6 month old babies. Because the baby's hands are strong enough to hold objects and are active enough to move. It even includes being able to reach for nearby objects and squeezing soft objects.
Recognizing people around him
