Developmental Milestones
Summary
The 6 month developmental milestones refer to a set of abilities that most infants can perform at 6 months of age. In terms of motor abilities, infants can sit upright with support from their hands. Socially, 6 month old infants begin to develop stranger anxiety and babble. At 6 months, infants should weigh double their birth weight. Infants at this age can be introduced to solid foods and often begin teething.
