Welcome to another month of adventures with your little one! At seven months, your baby is all about exploring, playing, and learning new things. This month could be the time when your baby starts sitting up, maybe even sprouts that first tooth. Some overachieving babies might even begin to crawl or creep around!
Developmental Highlights
By this age, your baby typically sleeps around 11 hours at night, often through the night, along with two naps totaling about three to four hours. As for feeding, your little one should be consuming 24 to 30 ounces of breast milk or formula daily, alongside 4 to 9 tablespoons of cereals, fruits, and veggies, plus 1 to 6 tablespoons of protein. It’s important to remember that honey, cow’s milk, and fruit juice are not recommended for babies under one year.
Expect your baby to be rolling from tummy to back and vice versa. They may be able to sit up independently and even stand while holding onto furniture or your hands. Your active cutie is likely on the move, either crawling or making attempts at it.
