Social-­‐emotional development
• At this age the baby realizes who is a stranger to him and he
does not smile at them readily; he will cry if they try to touch him.
He is strongly attached to his mother and he gets upset and cries
if she leaves him on his own. He is also able to laugh out loud and
he may prefer one toy over another.

thoroughly, then skin them, then puree them.
• Give the baby egg yolks only, not the whites.
• Do not stop breastfeeding.
Examples of ideal foods in the seventh and
eighth months
To begin with, offer only one food at a time, and do not introduce
another for four days or so, so make sure there is no allergy or
sensitivity to the food. Once you know which foods your baby can
eat, you can start to combine foods to make interesting “meals.”
