Hi, thanks for the video: these are helpful.
My 4 months old baby doesn't pick his head up when on tummy. Instead he licks his fingers and keep head down. Also he is not holding any toys. He just hold our fingers
Please suggest
Hi Emma thanks for the useful information my baby does everything at this age except good head rotation during tummy time instead she doesn’t like this position
Hello, I can’t find your Instagram based on your name. Is it with dash, underscore or something? Thank you!
Hi Emma my 4 months not rolling over... should I be worried
@@trishamittal366 how is your baby now? How is his head and? He is sitting now
I actually cried when you said that it's normal for a baby to sleep 30- 45 mins for their naps in the day. Had so many people telling me that they should be do at lest a hour and my little boy just want sleep that long in the day. Loving hearing from an Australian
OMG my son does too, he never sleeps over 30mins a day :(, and he just sleeps wells on my arm
Same here, my baby sleeps for 30-45 minutes and she just opens her eyes and starts smiling, babbling playing right away. She just does NOT want to sleep longer. And she's very happy, never cranky. I think that's what matters.
My son sleeps more sometimes during the day. Is it normal
So good to know that 30 mins naps are normal... I was actually worried that I'm doing something worng...
My baby sleeps 4 hours than two 20 minutes nap
Thank you for including us Dads into your videos. It’s frustrating how we get left behind in these learning especially the ones that enjoy fatherhood!
Thank goodness i found your channel. I was constantly worrying that my baby wasn't getting enough sleep and that her naps were too short because i see other mum's reporting their 4-5 months old babies were napping 1.5-2hrs per nap. At least now i can relax knowing my baby's naps and total sleep hours are within the normal range. Thank you!
I love these. My grand daughter will be 4mo tomorrow and 100% she is right on schedule.It's funny, because she dropped her 4th nap today and fell asleep an hour early tonight. The 35-45min naps surprised me about 2.5 weeks ago, but we just rolled with it.
Thank you so much.
That is awesome!
Thank you Emma so much, we learn a lot from your channel and our new baby is hitting each milestone you described step by step. Best wishes!
These videos always make me so happy, I literally smile the whole time and get a good feeling when u talk about something that my baby does. She will be 4 months in just a couple days. Although she does still wake up every 3 to 3 1/2 hours to feed at night which is totally fine, we will get there eventually 🥰 and I'm so glad that cat napping is normal lol
It is so much fun seeing them develop and gain these amazing skills. Keep enjoying this lovely time!
@@EmmaHubbard I sure will, thanks 😊 🙏
I delayed starting tummy time .Was going through post partum blues she's 3months adjusted age and still grunts and screams when I try tummy time except when on the chest .I am a working mom so I'm with her full day once a week and 3hours before she sleeps for the night every day .
How best can I go about it
I randomly came across your channel tonight and really love your energy and concise information. FTM here with a 4.5month old and finding your videos really helpful!
Him playing with his little hands is so lovely 🥰
Fave part! So funny and cuuute! 😂
We are almost at five months on the 18th and it’s almost a little creepy how on point you are! There were a few times in this video where I was like oh! that explains why she does that!
My baby is doing all this since she was 3+1. Now she's 3+3.
Hi Emma ,thank you so so much !I almost thought I wasn't training my little angel well because she sleeps for about 2_3 hours in the night.
My baby is doing everything you said (except rolling all the way over) since he’s 3 month old, many things since his 2 mo. He will be 4 months in a week
Love your videos I have a 4 month old and it’s great to have an Australian mum and expert doing these videos which are actually helpful. thanks!
So glad!
Really good information! I'm watching your videos and finding many new info to put in practice right now with my 4 month old baby girl. Knowing what I expect in a good way explaining is great. Thank you Emma!
thank you for your great videos! But when you say babies of 4 months age sleep up to 5 hours on their first session, you are referring to bottle fed babies? Because neither my daughter nor any other baby of her age we know sleeps that long while being 100% breast fed. I've heard that bottle fed babies tend so sleep longer so I guess that goes for them? Our daughter consistently wakes up every 2-3 hours... there have been sessions of 5-6 hours but these are rare.
Thank you, informative and straight to the point. 🙂
Hi Emma!! Tell us about transition from swaddling. Please
That was very settling to hear ! Thank you so much 🙏
So great to hear!
Thank you so much for this video as a new parent I got to learn many things
Glad to hear it!
Hi Emma, thank you for those amazing videos, they are so helpful. I was wondering at what age babies are able to soothe themselves to sleep? Emma my 3 months old can sometimes link two sleep cycles on her own during the day but she definitely needs help to go to sleep initially (as you mentioned in your 3 months milestones video). Thank you in advance
Very helpful, thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Can you do videos like this about premature babies with oxygen support and boots and bars, please?
Lol. My kid’s something else, sleeping 8pm to 8am, suffering for 4 hours to make him finally take a nap around 3pm, which I have to do everything I can to make it deep enough to go over 1.5 hours and is usually a 2-3 hour nap after which we’re awake ‘till sleep time (8pm)
He also wakes up at night usually around 4am and stays awake for a while maybe an hour or two. I don’t even know if this is healthy for him
Hi Emma I'm looking at your channel for first time.....I love the way you give suggestions.......it's being very helpful ......subscribed immediately your channel......keep doing more ......☺
That's so nice of you to say. Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for this!
My pleasure!
Hi Emma, I’ve been following you since my 4 month old baby boy was born! Thank you so much for the great insights! My question is I’ve been told to train him wake-eat-play-sleep cycle. But he wouldn’t sleep unless I feed him before he goes to bed and because I’m only breastfeeding I can’t tell how much I feed him each time. So, it’s been really difficult for me to follow and that made me feel bad 😞. How important is it to follow the cycle and would he naturally learn to fall asleep without the training?
Thank you so much!
Thanks, your videos are so helpful
Very clear. Thank you SO much. : ))
You're very welcome!
This is so useful. Thank you
Nice information ma'am ❤
Is there a development video for 5 months??? I was looking for it and I can't find it. I've been following your videos for every month and my baby girl will be 5 months tomorrow. I would love to see one for 5 months old
Thank you mama this was really informative
I'm so glad!
Hello Emma... I really enjoy your sessions 👍
Another great video - thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My son is 3 and half months now, and he is already reached everything you said for a 4 months baby. Haha
That’s great news!
Thanks! ❤️
At how many weeks did you give birth ?
@@yanabanana5086 38weeks+5days
My 3months1/2 daughter is already doing all that. Wasn't really napping at all during day but i just take her for a stroll and she sleeps.
My baby girl is 4month this was helpful thank you
You are so welcome!
Hi Emma. I learned a lot from your videos which I recently found😊 My baby turned 5 months just last week. I am concerned with her difficulty in rolling and also she hates tummy time. She is having a hard time lifting her head (maybe because of its bigger size). She has an Apert Syndrome anyway. Is it normal that she develops late? We are from the Philippines.
My baby is 3.5 months and just started taking significantly shorter naps, which was stressing me out as I didn’t know why she was waking up so quickly. Thanks for the reassurance that these chances are just a normal part of development.
No worries at all!
@Emma Hubbard please can you share 5month old developmental milestones?
Wooow mu bby is almost making four months but he is able to do all these things
Thank you for sharing 🙂
My pleasure 😊
Sorry lil confused. This is about 4th month or 4 month old ( 5th ongoing,)
Thank you so much
Hey, I love watching your videos, my now 4 month old, rolled tummy to back at 3 months but has stopped. And now only rolls back to tummy, is this okay ? ❤️
My baby is micropreemie 24 weeks ! She will be 5 months corrected age but she still can’t lift her head without support and can’t roll other thn that she does everything else you said ! I need videos to know how to help her alot to lift head and to roll
Hello Emma. Thank you so much for these wonderful tips. How often should i change my baby during the night?
My twins are going to be 5 months but were born a month early. They dont actually reach for toys I show them, they do loft their head and chest during tummy time but with closed fists
Any update?when the started to grasp the things
My baby sleeps 9-12 hours during the night without feeding, exept when he shits himself up to the back, which happens once a week. In that case, I gotta bath him and he requires an extra feed for that commodity.
Thanks 👍
No worries at all!
My 4 and half month old baby gets up more times during the night for feeding than previous month. From 0 to 3 months old, she used to sleep five hours for the first round and after that every 2-3 hours. But now she wakes up more. What is the reason? I do breastfeeding and stated introducing solids after 4 month
Great video! thanks a lot. I have a question, why is my baby wakes up every one and half hours during nights, I must feed her immediately, otherwise she will cry very badly. why is that?! that's really torturing me… my baby is 3M+3W
and weight 7.2kg, she is healthy smiles a lot. I am cosleeping with her. do you know what I can do to help her wake up less during the night? I would really appreciate!
Hi Hannah, glad the video was helpful. Sounds like night time sleep is very tiring. Have you had a chance to check out this video on newborn sleep tips? th-cam.com/video/SfCxUG1nE84/w-d-xo.html . Although your little one is nearly 4 months the tips in here are suitable for all babies and might help your little one sleep for longer in the night. Does she sleep well in the day time?
Hi Hannah, my baby is 4 months old now and waking up every hour and a half to two to eat.. I started giving him also Apple purre during the day but it's the same. I have tried everything from the sleeping tip video but I thinks that my baby is just like that. If you see this can you tell me is it better yet with your baby?
Great question.. I have the same issue with my son who is nearly 4 months old
My 4 months old baby does everything you mentioned but she doesn't roll yet. It it to be concerned? Plus during tummy time she lifts her head for a very short time then she gets tired and fussy.
Thanks you aamzing video
Glad you found it helpful!
@@EmmaHubbard is it safe at 4 months and 2 week for them to start setting or helping them
Or is it too early
My baby is over four months, heading to five. She's having difficulty grabbing things by herself. She wore mittens for close to 3 months. This was done cause of cold as at the time and I didn't know better. Now seeing her frustrated when she's not able to get hold of her toys gets to me. What do I do?
Hello. Love your channel. I have a 4 month old baby, she turned today 4, but she still doesnt babble. She just makes some little sporadic sounds so far. Is this a problem, should i be concern at this moment?
Hi @sida gjini I wouldn't be concerned. All babies develop at their own pace. What is important is that she is looking at you, smiling and starting to coo or make a noise when you talk to her.
great job
Thanks!
I'm worried my baby is 4 months old and touched all milestones except getting interested in catching the toys and keeping in hand
Good video. Is it normal that everything you said in this video, my baby did at 3 month and even babble at 2 month?
Thanks for your videos! Really informative! Any suggestions on baby sleeping on belly? He cries constantly if I lay him down on his back. I tried lots, but nothing seems to work.
Thank u mam
I have a 4 month baby..... Its a lovely video.... Its very helpful to me.....
So glad!
Hi Emma, thank you for your videos!
Should I be concerned if my 4 month old baby can't stay awake for longer than 1 hour? If I keep him awake for any time longer than 1h he becomes fussy every single time. Is that common at 4 month of age?
Thank you ❤
What did the pediatrician say?
My baby is doing all except rolling. He did it a few times from belly to back when he was like 2/3 months but doesn’t anymore !? Reassurance ?
slap your hands more in front of the mike, great content as always
Noted!
Hello Emma, I love your videos they are so helpful. My concern is that he doesn't roll over and he is already 4mts 3 weeks he kinds of pushes him self a bit with his feet to the side but doesn't pass from there. Should I be worried? And also he doesn't like very much to do tummy time. But eather way I try to make him do enough of tummy time.
Hi @Patricia Gonzalez I wouldn't be concerned at all. Rolling is a still babies can learn anywhere between 4- 7 months so he still has plenty of time to learn this skill. Hope that helps to relieve some stress.
My son is 4month old.he is 7.3kg and 65cm. He is already able to sit up with support. Everytime, i lay him on a his bouncer, he tries to sit instead. He started to roll over himself when he was 3months4weeks. now he is still struggle to pull his one arm from below his belly whenever he rolls over.
Same like my baby. She starts to cry 😂 but i have started to give her exercises also if you have noticed, does your baby has good head and neck support because my baby is snuggling with it.
Sorry i meant control
My 4 months old baby wakes up UpTo five times to feed at night and mostly falls asleep in my arms, please advise
Hello ma'am ur video's are really informative... thanks a lot... i have a really worrisome thing is that my baby boy is 4 months, 2 weeks old.. he has achieved rest all milestones as u said except rolling over and self reaching to toys ...is it a problem ma'am kindly suggest pls??
Is this just when they turn 4 months or through the month
My four month old at most sleeps in 2 hours stretches unless he stays on my chest this momma is exhausted 😴 he has been this way always and I am at a loss as to fix it
4 month but alost off vomiting what can I do I can't eat food. milk. fruits.
My baby sleep for the most 4hours the entire day. Only roll if I put him on a pillow and hardly open his hands. He doesn't reach for stuff either.
My baby started laughing on her 2 months and talking as well.
Is this for at the start of 4 months or end of 4 months?
Is there such thing as a 4 month old sleeping too much? He sleeps from 7:30 -7:30 with a dream feed at 10:30. He takes 1-2 hour naps 3-4 times a day so is exceeding the hours you said by quite a bit!
Mine is the same. I can’t find any information at what too much sleep could mean!
My baby just turned 4 months and she still not rolling on her own😭😭
Mine too and I am worried 😢
My baby is teething at this age and has trouble sleeping 😴 it’s been a very hard several weeks for us
Do you have one about self soothing
Hi Emma, thank you for making these videos! My son will be 4 months old on the 25th of Feb, his wake windows are approx 1-1.5hr, should I be worried? He does almost all the things you’ve covered in this video, except for the lifting up his chest with his hands open, he goes in his chest but he keeps his hands closed, only when he gets tired, he opens his hands and goes on a swinging mode so have to roll him in his back again or else he cries.. he also rolls on his side sometimes and does a full roll but with assistance. Many thanks 🙏🏽
Hi Irina from what you have said I would not be concerned. He sounds like he is doing well!
The only reason I would be concerned is if his hand is always fisted and this is preventing him from being able to hold onto toys. But if his hand is only fisted when lying on his tummy then that is ok.
But as always if you are worried check in with your little one's doctor as they can see him in person and complete an assessment.
@@EmmaHubbard many thanks for getting back to me Emma 😊 much appreciated!
Thanks
Thank you!
Hello Mam ur video is very helpfull for parents.. Mam my three months baby sleeping time is very very less..at day time he sleep only one to Two hours What to do... Actually my elder son wants he can't sleep that's way may be...pls suggest some idea
Hi! How can I encourage my baby to roll over on their backs? Shes 5 months and not quite rolling yet.
Hi . Answer will be helpful if someone knows. My 3.5 month baby start first molars.no any other teeth start yet.only start with first molars. Is that ok????
Dalahäst on the wall ❤
Why my baby is not communicate .she is going to tummy time by her self but not laughing till i go to tickling her then she laugh other wise she is very serious and stressed
Thanks for video @Emma . My 4 month baby has suddenly started to take day naps for about 30 minutes. Now thats clear.
But want to know, till which month i can expect longer naps?
Like till 3 months of age all his day naps where 2 hours each. So chances of same again?
My baby only roll from his back to the side during sleep. But he never does that when awake. It seems he has no interest in going to his stomach either.
❤❤❤
So my 4 month old has three naps but he sleeps for a lot longer. Two naps are 3 hours and evening nap is 1.5 hours. His bed time is 9pm and he wakes up at 7 am with minding dream feed and 3 am feed. Is that normal? Everywhere I look it says that it’s too much day time nap. Should I be waking him?
My son doesn't take sound sleep at night he wakes up very frequently. He sleeps peacefully in the day time. During day, his naps are really long. In fact I shouldn't call them naps. How should I change his routine? Please help. It's getting very difficult for me to handle him at night
Hi Emma, in the video you said a 4month old will be sleeping between 5-8 hours at night. However my baby still wakes up every 3 hours.. I need your advice.
Dear Emma, my 4 month old started to have difficulties to go back to sleep after the night feedings. He kicks when we put him down after being rocked to sleep, or protests being rocked after the second feed. Sometimes I hear his intestines working..we asked the GP but he said it's not tummy issue because he kick upwards, not towards the tummy and does not cry just simply wakes. Do you have any suggestions?
agh same with my 4 month old baby girl she used to sleep right after her night feeding but not anymore it takes me an hour or 2 to put her back to sleep which is tiring...its so easy for the dr to say let her sleep on her own or let her cry to sleep😶
Sleeping 5-8 hours what !! Im lucky if i get 3-4 hour stretches still. Why wont my baby sleep lol now she must be going through that awful sleep regression as she is 3 1/2 months now and wakimg several times at night and i know they say its like she sleeping well and then she is up every 1-2 hours. Well she is doing that but she never slept well before lol
What about 5 months?
My son can sleep longer than 45 minutes like 4 - 6 hours
My baby rolls from tummy to back and back to tummy again at 3 months
That is impressive!
I find your videos very helpful. Thank you. I have a 4months old baby who does cat naps through the day. She still takes 4 naps a day and goes to bed at 6ish. She falls asleep on her own but unable to lengthen her naps.. When she reaches about 6months old, would she be able to do it? Will that happen overnight....? I am quite frustrated with my baby's cat naps and beginning to get a bit worried.
Hi Saemi glad you liked the video. It is amazing your little one is already falling asleep on her own. Catnaps are expected at this age and since she is already able to fall asleep on her own then I would expect that by 6 months when her body is ready she will start to lengthen her sleeps. Just make sure the room that she falls asleep in is very dark (I have a video on blackout blinds which might be helpful). That way when she wakes between sleep cycles she won’t be stimulated by everything in the room and will go back to sleep.
@@EmmaHubbard Ok so I will have to wait till she is older. I am so glad that you are telling me that as other sleep trainers haven't told me that which makes me think that I am doing something wrong. My daughter falls asleep on her own most of times. Some naps are not as successful as other times, so I carry her in my carrier. But I mostly put her down in her bed in the dark room. Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it.
Just to say that this is my very first time writing a reply on TH-cam video. I love the way you explain things. Very informative. Thanks.
Hi Saemi I definitely don’t think your doing anything wrong. Very impressed she is able to fall asleep on her own. Not all naps are going to go smoothly but if the majority of naps your little one is going to sleep on her own then your definitely not doing anything wrong.
So glad you are finding the videos helpful.
I have a dumb question. Does 4 month actually start right after 3rd is completed or is it after the full 4th months? when they say : this is what your 4-month-old baby can do, which time do they mean? I'm so new to this
Came here to ask the same thing. Are these expected to be done by the end of 4 months, or by the start?
Hi,can you please make development videos for premature babues for each month
Hi @Learning and Fun the developmental milestones we expect for premature babies is actually the same as babies who were born full term. The only difference is the milestones we expect are based on their corrected age not gestational age. So if they were born at 32 weeks then they are 2 months premature. So when they are 4 months gestational age their corrected age is 2 months and you would be aiming for the developmental milestones of a 2 month old. Hope that makes sense.
