Question
If a baby’s main diet consists of congee and noodles, with formula as a supplement, how should parents observe the baby’s development?
Answer
Observing a baby’s development can be approached from several aspects: The baby can now stand alone for a moment, can take a few steps while holding onto a chair or stroller, can pick up items using the thumb and index finger in a pincer grasp, and can retrieve toys from drawers. The baby can understand a few more complex words, such as ‘goodbye,’ and is beginning to use single words with multiple meanings. The baby will reach out for a hug or join in a game when they see someone familiar, can imitate adult actions like waving goodbye, and can drink milk from a bottle on their own.
