Hello Emma, I can’t find the pdf
you probably dont care but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Javion John Instablaster ;)
@Adrian Chandler I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Adrian Chandler it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
Thank you so much, I’m 2nd mom, first time mom boy😅 my daughter was so easy and she basically was always very independent and resilient, my boy is a little more dependent of us to teach(duh😅) is almost 6 months and the only thing is he’s not sitting on his own yet, and won’t flip from his back to belly but flips from belly to back but we are working on it. Thank you! I was sure if he was on track on development
Emma, thank you for all your hard work. I found your videos when my son was about 3 months and I've been watching since, it helps to have a general timeline of where he should be and the tips n tricks are extremely helpful for a FTM like me. Thank you!
I just found your channel and it’s just what I needed. I babysit my baby grandsons and really needed to get up to par with what to do and not do with them.. Your content is wonderful !
As a 1st time mom, I learned a lot from your channel. It bugs me that I found your page just this day. I could've used a lot of your tips and tricks while my baby is growing up. She'll be 6 months next week but she already reached all the 6-month milestones except the "sitting unsupported" one. I hope she'll be able to do it soon.
Love the way you elaborate and cover every aspects.. keep it up... I mostly follow your channel for any doubts and information and you clear it point to point.. keep it up.. and all the best 👍
So happy I found your channel!!! Thank you so much for the infos ❤️
I feel more at eased and less overwhelmed by this video as it has all the important information on developmental milestones put simply.
I am so happy you feel at ease. It can be overwhelming at times and my aim to to make parenting easier
Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge
It’s so cool that you mentioned the raking motion. My girl turned 6mo a few days ago and she’s started this raking thing. She drags her nails across things quickly and grasps even when there's nothing there to hold. She seems interested in doing this with textured surfaces.
It’s amazing watching her hit milestones like clockwork. I read that blowing raspberries early is a predictor for better and earlier language development, so I started blowing them at her at 5 months. She was immediately delighted by the noise, and started doing it within a week. Now she can’t stop! I’m just hearing the beginning of babbling sounds which is so exciting!
She can’t sit up on her own, probably due to low weight and large head, which has always been an issue due to horrible spitting up which is just starting to abate, but I’m not worried about that. She’s so strong and smart, I feel so blessed every day. Every new little thing she does makes me so happy and proud.
Thanks for the video!!
My son likes to grab at textured surfaces and scratch them as well! (Although your wonderful baby is much older now lol!)
It really is great to see them hit their milestones! Such an amazing thing 🥰
My baby also has a low weight compared to head size 😂, he is starting to sit but will tumble when moving to get a toy, which resulted in a lot of crying from hitting his head a couple times(I don’t let it happen often but sometimes I can’t avoid it). I try to keep him now in a mobile bassinet (Moses thingy) on the ground so he can hold to the sides to stable himself. I do that when I’m cooking, so he can see me but be sitting safely.
I love you girl❤❤ I had my 3rd baby 6 months ago and I can tell you I learned thing's I didn't know my first time around lol
More great information to clarify developmental expectations at this age - thanks so much!
Glad you liked it and found it helpful
My baby is having all these milestones I am happy
My baby girl just turn 6 months yesterday but i think to what u said is accurate to my first 2 daughters... Now i have my 3rd but i think she's so advance because he reach this milestone in just 5 months😇...
"now start to put toys into their mouth" now?! NOW?!?! my baby would eat EVERYTHING for 2 months hahahaha love ya Emma, thank you for giving us all these help for free
My pleasure!
Very useful information.... I would like you to upload a video about head stability and when should this happen
Thanks for the good information
Thanks for another informative video! Always helpful to know what milestones bub should be reaching at each stage of life
Hopefully it makes it easier for you. Glad you liked it
I now have three kids, one is about to be 6 months soon. Still helpful video ♥️

Thank u so much mam this is so helpful to me

Beautifully explained.... covered every aspect.. thank you for sharing this video. 🙂
No worries.
@@EmmaHubbard can you share a 7 months milestone too?
My baby is 5months old when ever his dad or grand ma put on their lenses he always reach out to it and grap it out. He actually dose all the things you just mentioned
Thats awesome!
Emma thanks for all your tips. To be a first-time parent, and don't have anybody to ask simply questions except the pediatrician it's amazing.
We have a 6-month babe and he still hates tummy time; he rolls from his back to his tummy but not from his tummy to front. How may we help him?
Good info.
Emma your videos are so informative and helpful..thank you!!
My daughter is 6.5 months old she is obese her endocrinologist said all reports are normal..she seems to be less curious towards things unlike sounds. Even if we talk with her lovingly she just stairs and doesn't engage.. even if she does its very rare.. she smiles occasionally..but she likes music and sound. And i tried everything to try solids she just starts crying right away.. she don't like anything except breast milk..she just won't swallow at all ..eye contact is fine.. response to name is very less.. is there anything to worry.. please suggest.. thanks a lot
Hello Emma,
Is there a video for 5 month old developmental milestones?
My bub just turned 6m.
-She’s babbling a lot ‘dadada’ is her favorite
-she’s creeping and lunging forward
-she rolls everywhere
-kicks off when held
-sits pretty much unaided
-responds to her name
-has very good reflexes and hand eye coordination.
What she hasn’t been able to do these passed 2months is sleep! She’s been waking every 1-2hrs and can only be settled by the breast. She used to sleep right through.
My baby can do everything you mentioned except sitting up independently when 5mo😮I’m so proud of him now❤
That is awesome!
My baby will be 6 month full in 2 days, has rolled tummy to back from 4 month but doesn't do back to tummy, she just hate tummy so bad doesn't want to stay there at all, also doesn't go backwards yet, grab her thumbs and feet but doesn't get to mouth yet
Hi Emma, thanks for your channel… your videos are very informative and helpful for new parent like me…:)
My daughter will be 6 months on this 25th… though she sits with little support and she does caterpillar crawling as well but I m concerned as she doesn’t turn to her sides this often. She had made a few turns when she was 4 months of age and stopped after that… now whenever she is on her tummy time she just do caterpillar crawling instead… is it a matter of concern???
Another great video for parents! Thanks for the free PDF👍🏻 Six months is a fun, interactive stage for both parents & bubs.
No worries. It honestly just keeps getting better as they get older and so much more interactive and independent
Great informative video .Very clearly articulated and delivered fuss free .
@@robyncooley570 Glad you found the information helpful
My twins sleep through the night from 8/9 to 7/8 and only nap halfway through the day from 1-4 😅
My son swivels around from stomach to sitting up using his hands and arms. Also pulls himself up to stand against our legs, tables and the couch.
Hi I have a question on airplane arms. My baby is 5.5 months and can fairly manage her neck, she however does not sit independently and also does hold her arms out like an airplane when held. Is that normal?
My 6 month 2 week old is not sleeping 5 hours out the night and I’m still feeding him at least 4 times out the night. SOMEBODY HELP 😅
My baby is almost 6 months old, she does everything you described but doesn’t roll from back to tummy and will pivot in one direction only, so you have any advice?
What should a parent do if the baby is not doing all the milestones mentioned in your video
Hello Emma. Thank you for all your help and support. I've been following you for some time and needed to know if there's a video of yours about the 6 months regression behaviour during day and night. After 6 months and some days my baby girl has totally changed her behaviours day and night.
She's sleeping restlessly during the night making a lot of complaint cooings ( she's teething too ) and she's slamming both of her feet violently in her crib. during the day I feel her to be more "aggressive". She sometimes slaps my arm when I'm interacting with her. She doesn't like to be on her tummy and still isn't able to roll.
Any advice on that? Thank you in advance.
How is your baby doing now? I am in similar situation.
@@aditimehta101 hi dear. It's normal and it will pass. We're at 14nmonths now and I WISH she were as calm as 6 months. Unfortunately teething came later, although the discomforts started way earlier. Now she can almost walk.
There's still regression in the sleep schedule.
I hope I did give you some info. Lemme know if there's anything else I can help you with.
P. S. No doctor whatsoever here. Just a mom
I'm curious if my 6 month old's gross motor skills are delayed, at what age should I be worried?
My daughter is 5,5 months, sleeps through the night and is only awake 1,5 hours before becoming super tired and needing another nap. Is that normal? I struggle with the idea of keeping her awake longer to stretch her awake time but I also think: if she's tired she's tired. But if she should be awake longer I want to work on it. What is your opinion on this?
My baby used to bubble alot now not that much, he likes to observe things he also sleeps through the night 12 hours, I wake him up but doesn't eat.
my 6m old does all the things except rolling over. she only rolled few times, should I be worried? She isn’t interested in rolling at all…
Does 6 months mean by the time the baby turns 6 months or during the month when they are 6 months old? I'm worried my baby isn't doing all of these yet 😅
It’s fine no matter what!
What could it mean if baby can’t really bring his toes to his mouth? He tries but it seems too tight. He mostly just holds his toes with his fingertips.
My six months old baby doesn't sleep during the day ... He is always active n doesn't get tired. He starts sleeping from 7pm and wakes up by 1am for a feed then wakes up by 5am for a feed and he won't go back to sleep still the next 7pm😢
My 6 month old does everything mentioned in the video EXCEPT sitting unsupported, any tips to get her sitting up by herself?
How did your LO get on? Did she start sitting by her 7 month? I’m experiencing the same with my baby. He only sits when supported!
I do love you and channel as a mother! I'm watching your channel from Asian countries and your advice have been so useful for me! Now I very need your help, my 6 month baby has a bigger head and he has difficulty to hold it, plus when he rolls up, he becomes tired quickly to hold neck. Is it enough 8 drops(8000) vitamin d3, I'm really worried about his health 😢
Hi! So glad you love the channel and it has helped on your parenting journey.
Unfortunately this is a little outside of my scope. The best person to ask would be your little one’s doctor. Hopefully they can help!
What when the little one sleeps around 10h ? Is it a problem?
Hello, thank you for your video! Do you have tips for a 6month old who doesn't reach for toys? He loves putting his fingers in his mouth or holding his own hands but we can't get him interested to grab a toy😔
My baby just turned 6 month old. She doesn’t roll over yet or sit independently let alone crawling. She also won’t mimic sounds. Should I b worried?
My baby is 6 months in 8 days. She doesn’t sit independently on the floor but sitting well in the feeding chair. She can’t roll from tummy to back yet. Obviously not crawling. I think it is very varies based on each baby 👶My baby was born 2.5 weeks early. So every milestone is just a little bit later than in guide.
Emma my baby girl can do pretty much all of that except sit up on her own and she turned 6 months today ! Is that a problem ?? 😰
Hi Emma, thank you for your videos, I have a question regarding these milestones. Are they also for prematurely born babies or shoud we expect to see them around the corrected age?
Same question and concern with me. My baby just turned 6 months yesterday but she was born at 36 weeks 3 days.
For preterm babies you have to go by the corrected age.
My son just turned 5months on the 6th and he's been doing all of this since 4 1/2 months & hes been sleeping 9-10hr everynight since 2 months...is that normal?
My baby is 6 months old already and she wants to stand than crawling.
Emma my baby is 6 half months but not crawling yet... when does that happen and how to help her do it? She doesn’t roll to both sides either, only occasionally from belly to back... she sits with assistance but remains seated for maybe 20 seconds. Thanks!!! Love your channel
Hi @Pri USA it sounds like your little one is doing exactly what is expected at 6 months of age. Crawling can occur anywhere from 6 - 9 months. I am releasing a video tomorrow on how to help teach crawling. I also have a video on sitting which you might find helpful. I would focus on rolling and supported sitting at this stage.
My daughter is 5months but she sleeps through the whole night, should I be worried she doesn't wake up in the night for at least one feeding?
My baby is turning 6 months on the 8th and still isn’t sitting on his own or crawling what can I do to help him out when he’s on his tummy he does go in like circles moving around and turns from tummy to back and back to tummy
My 5 month is doing most these things, except she turns from her back to her tummy all the time but can't roll the other way around! I can't get her to do it, although I'm following what you taught in your rolling video.
Hey my almost 5 month old is the same!! And I don’t think she CANT, she’s done it a few times on accident and gets upset. I think my baby doesn’t like it- maybe yours is the same? Lol
My 5 1/2 month son is also only roiling from back to tummy and do not roll from tummy to back. Not sure if that is something to be concern. Any thoughts?
How did things turn out for you guys?
Thank you so much for this video ❤️ I would like to ask about sleeping you saying they do 15 hours a day. My baby girl goes to bed 7 pm and wakes up 7am (1 feeding 12 o'clock, she wakes up always by herself) and from there goes to sleep after each 1 hour she is awake and sleeps +-1 hour... She starts to be fuzzy near to 55 minutes to be awake so then we go to bed and she sleeps almost immediately then one hour awake and so on and in one napp afternoon she sleeping 2 hours....is it ok she sleeps so many hours?
Mine too
My 7th month old has the same sleeping schedule as of 6 months. At total he is getting 9hrs of sleep. With the information from this video I feel likr something is wrong.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Emma, my son is turning 6 months old in a few days and is not completing a roll or grabbing his feet. He also does not bounce but can sit decently and bear weight on his legs. Is this a cause for concern?
Hi @Caitlin Lauredent it is great your little one is able to sit and bear weight on his legs. Rolling from your back to front can happen anywhere from 4 - 7 months so he still has another month to learn this skill. When he is lying on his back you can start to place his hands on his feet - usually they start by placing hands on their knees and as they get stronger tummy muscles they can start to touch their toes. I wouldn't be concerned if he is achieving all the other milestones expected at 6 months. But if you are concerned always check in with your local doctor or paediatrician who can see your little one in person and do a quick developmental check.
Where Did you get the dala unicorn? :o
My son just turn 6 month in the 26 but he doesn’t sit by his self yet is that normal?
Hi Shezadi, yep not being able to sit by themselves at 6 months of age is very normal. It's a skill bubs can learn anywhere between 6-9 months. Hope that helps!
My bub thinks his 2 year old brothers name is his own. 🤭We’re now working on that.
how many old baby start crawling??
I couldn’t find 5 month old baby development video 😞
5 month 5days baby her left hand is straight while on rest but she can grab & reach the things from that hand she hold the even leg but she clenched fist at rest is it normal madam
My son is talking and babbling but dont wanna roll over i noticed i cant leave to long hes teying to sit up b4 rolling
My six month old still wakes every 1-3 hours at night to eat. Any recommendations? I’m so tired.
Seems your baby stomach is not full , try to feed to the full and the interval should increase
That Time do breast feeding .don't replace the whole solid food for breast milk...even my baby wakes up at night .two to three times v need to feed them at night ...
That Time do breast feeding .don't replace the whole solid food for breast milk...even my baby wakes up at night .two to three times v need to feed them at night ...
Same here. It was 2 hourly when he had not started solids but has moved to 3hrs when he started solids.
Mine too!! I'm really tired esp he doesn't take a good nap during the daytime, he keeps waking up quickly.
My little one cant sit up unaided, maybe for 20 seconds or so. He's 1 week off 6 months? I've read online that they need to sit unaided in order to transition to a seated up position in his pram? Not sure what to do
Hi Emma, my child turned 7months few days back, she is still not able to sit without support. Should I be concerned?
My LO is going to be 7 months in five days and is still not sitting unaided! How did yours get on then?
My baby will turn six month in a few days but still folding her hand more than when she open it and yet to sit by her self and yet to roll but fo other things. Should i geel concern?
I've seen a few videos of 6months olds crawling and standing up by themselves is this normal? My baby is 6 months and not doing this .
Hi Emma. My 6 month wakes up 3 to 4 times in the night. He starts sleeping at around 7 to 8 pm and wakes up at 6. But he needs to be fed 3 to 4 times every night. Is this fine .
my daughter is the same, it’s normal 😊
Same
My daughter is not rolling yet and when she sits up, a few minutes later she flops forward.. help!
My 6 month is already crawling
Hello Emma, i love your channel.
My baby girl started babling at 4 and a half and then at 5 and a half she stopped. She even said ba ba ba some time. Now that she is almost 6 months she stopped babbling, she screams more, she seems to understand when i talked to her, she has a good eye contant and she always respond to her name. She know her name from the time she was 4 months. Now should i worry about this?
Which month your baby completely stabled the neck?
@@Mylife-sr3qm at six she has completly stabled the neck and she even sits for a few minutes without pillows around her, but still she doesnt sitt without support for a long period
@@sidagjini2875 Thanks for your reply.my baby is 5 months 4 days and his head is partially stabled also when dr pulled him to sit his head laged do i need to worry? What do i need to make him do for this? I didn't give him tummy time much but now I am trying to make him do it as much as i can. Will it be helpful?
@@sidagjini2875 shall i stop supporting his neck so that he can try to hold it by himself? His head wobble little bit.
@@Mylife-sr3qm i think you should give her time. Yes, tummy time help. Even my daughter at this age wasn't stabble completly. Now she is doing fine.
My baby does most of this but she cannot roll any way ! She is been turning sideways since three months old but she NEVER completes the roll
She does plenty of tummy time since birth I don’t know how to help her she is clearly not progressing with her rolling over
Same with mine, he turns sideways but at times completes the roll but didsnt go from back to front. Any thoughts?
Hi, Since My Baby Was Two Months I Would Imitate The Roll. So, I Would Suggest Showing And Explaining To Your Baby How They Can Roll Over. I Would Literally Help Her By Explaining All The Parts Of Her Body And How They Would Help Her. As I’m Doing This, I’m Helping Her Roll. Give Your Baby Encouragement. Happy Parenting Sweethearts!
Hi guys, did your babies eventually learn how to roll?
My baby just turned 6 m yesterday, but he still can't sit without support, maybe it's nirmal, because nit all baby's are same
All the rest what it's shows here, he alredy do since he was 5 m , just about sitting I'm worry
Hai Emma, my baby is 5.5 months. He makes lots of sound like cooing, squealing, blowing raspberries but no ba, da,. Is this a cause of concern?
No reason to be concerned at all. Sounds like he is doing well with his communication skills.
@@EmmaHubbard thank you Emma
My 6 mo old still leans forward when seating and ends up rolling to his side. And still not saying ma or da. Should I be concerned? Any tips? Thank you!
How is your baby now
My 6M has been doing this for at least a month 🤪and on the move for about 2 weeks already 😳send help🤪
My baby don't roll any advice
👍🥰
Why my baby can not neldowwn in 6 month
Is it important for a 6 month to roll over?
Hi! Rolling over is a skill bubs can achieve anywhere from 4-7 months so it’s fine if your 6month old isn’t yet rolling over.
@@EmmaHubbard thanks for reply.
She can roll on sides and sometimes on her tummy too but she hates tummy time as well as rolling over to tummy.
Seems she knows how to roll but she doesn’t do it very often like once in a blue moon.
Update: she started rolling over perfectly by 7 months. Now she is army crawling and never sit herself. So this is a bit worrisome.
My twins are 5 months old and the pediatrician said they dont need night feeds anymore 🤔
I dont feed my 5 months during night time,she sleeps trough the night.
Listen to your babies and not the pediatrician. If they cry at night and get calm after being fed that means they still need those night feedings. The milk at night is more calorically dense, has more DHA in it and it is beneficial to baby brain development.
Your videos are great, but you have very long intro (54 seconds), I would advise you to cut it to 5 seconds. Again: you videos are great and informative.
My baby needs a new pediatrician.
I hope you are able to get into one soon.
