7 Months Milestone
Day 210 · On the move and telling you exactly what they think
Development at 7 Months
Seven months means moving and grabbing everything. Baby-proof the whole house now - lock cabinets, cover outlets, gate the stairs. Your baby may be ready for lumpier food too; try mashed instead of smooth. And put a favorite toy just out of reach to tempt those first crawls.
Daily Care
At 7 months, babies usually sleep 12-14 hours a day with 2 naps. Many sleep through the night now. Food gets more fun - try finger foods like soft fruit and well-cooked vegetables. Breast milk or formula still comes first. Teething may wake them at night, so keep a teething toy handy.
Your 7-month-old is on the move, so keep eyes on them always. Set up 'yes' spaces where they can roam safely. Offer lots of different food feels now - it helps avoid picky eating later. Talk simply, then pause and wait for their answer. And start setting soft, gentle limits - little ones this age begin testing them.
