Sensory Development Milestone

Birth-6 Months

From birth to 6 months, the focus is on developing baby’s senses through exploration and discoveries. In these first 6 months, through movements and responses, baby is beginning to coordinate and build perceptual capacities. During this period, baby’s vision is poor, initially only able to see 8-12 inches from his face. Babies can see colors, but their ability to differentiate among them is still developing; red seems to capture baby’s attention the best, and so may be the first color sense. Gaining the capacity of the eyes to work together, and tracking objects with her eyes are milestones baby will reach during this period. Instinctively, babies look for faces among their available stimuli and develop a social smile. Babies also discover their hands and feet, begin to discriminate among different textures, and start reaching for objects and intentionally grasping them.
