When evaluating the intelligence level of a 2-month-old baby, the development status in several key areas appears to be particularly important. First, observe language function. At this stage, babies will attempt to communicate with “babbling” sounds, and when interacting with adults, they will gaze and respond with sounds like “oh” and “ah”. Secondly, visual development is also a sign. When babies see familiar faces, they become excited, their eyes are agile, they can track moving objects, and they are attracted to bright colors.
Perceptual abilities rapidly enhance at this stage. Babies begin to explore the surrounding environment, using cries or other noises to attract attention, expressing preferences through turning their heads or crying. Their sensitivity to sound is not limited to wakefulness; even in sleep, loud noises may startle them, furrow their brows, or even alter their breathing rhythm.
In terms of motor skills, intelligent 2-month-old babies can lift their heads well when lying on their stomachs and can maintain stable head position when held upright. In addition, their neural reflexes, such as the rooting reflex, are quite sharp – when an object approaches their cheek or mouth, babies instinctively turn their heads and stick out their tongues to explore.
In addition to the above points, parents should encourage babies with language, hearing, and visual stimulation, such as engaging in conversations, playing music, and showing high-contrast patterns to comprehensively promote their growth and development.
