Child's well visit, 6 months: Overview

Your baby's bond with you and other caregivers will be strong by now. They may be shy around strangers and may hold on to familiar people. It's common for babies to feel safer to crawl and explore with people they know.

Your baby may sit with support and start to eat without help.

They may use their voice to make new sounds. And they may start to scoot or crawl when lying on their tummy.
