At 6 months old, babies are developing quickly and reaching important milestones. Here are some things that 6-month-old babies should be doing according to the search results:

• Socializing: Babies learn by talking, playing, and interacting with others. Parents can use “back and forth” play with their baby, read to them every day, point out new things, sing to them, and play music to help them learn and develop.

• Physical development: Babies may be starting to sit up alone, roll over, and creep forward or backward. They may also be able to stand with support and balance themselves while sitting.

• Communication: Babies may be babbling, singing, and making sounds. They may also be able to understand a few words and respond to them.

• Exploring: Babies will enjoy exploring objects by looking at them and putting them in their mouth. They will also enjoy playing games like peek-a-boo or pat-a-cake.

• Sleeping and eating: Babies may be sleeping through the night and starting to eat solid foods. Parents should talk with their baby’s doctor about when to start solid foods and what foods are choking risks.

Its important to remember that every baby is unique and may develop at their own pace. Parents should not worry too much if their baby does not hit every milestone at 6 months old.
