How development usually goes at 2 months old
Baby turns toward sounds and brings their hands to their mouth. Head lifting in tummy time steadies, and they can follow things in view with their eyes.
What to keep an eye on
If baby doesn't respond to smiles or never makes eye contact for a while, note it and consult.
