4-6 Month Communication Milestones | Babbling, Giggling & Early Sounds

Описание: Baby has a lot to say, even though they can’t speak yet! By 6 months, they’ll use giggling, babbling, and all sorts of sounds to express their feelings. These 4-6 month communication milestones are important signs that Baby is growing typically and gaining the skills they'll need for future development.

Tracking these milestones helps you support healthy communication development and notice if Baby needs a little extra help.

Baby should meet these communication milestones by 6 months:

✅ Begins to giggle or laugh

✅ Listens and responds when spoken to

✅ Reacts to sudden noises or sounds

✅ Uses babbling to get attention

✅ Makes different kinds of sounds to express feelings

If Baby isn’t meeting their 4–6 month communication milestones, talk to their healthcare provider. Early help for potential difficulties or delays can make a big difference in Baby’s development. Remember, it’s never too early (or too late) to get Baby on the right pathway!
