Your 3 months old baby

By month three, your newborn will probably begin developing a personality all his own. He also might be reaching for objects, smiling spontaneously, and turning in the direction of your voice. Now might be a good time to familiarize him with new toys, textures, and people.

Your 3-month-old is working on strengthening his hand muscles, and in five to six months, he should be able to pick up toys. To help him along, put a rattle in his hand and gently tug on the big end. This can also help him strengthen his muscles.

You shouldn’t be concerned if your baby does something later or earlier than your friend's children. In general, by the end of his third month, here are some developments you can start looking for: 

• The ability to hold his head up steadily
• "Coo" and "goo" noises as well as other sounds
• Interest in reaching for familiar objects
• Focuses on closely held objects and follows them from side to side
