7 months baby behaviors that terrify first-time parents

7 months baby behaviors that terrify first-time parents Behavior #1: They suddenly become obsessed with one parent Around 7 months, babies recognize their primary caregiver as their safe person. Preferring one parent is completely normal Behavior #2: They suddenly start growling and fake coughing Babies this age are testing every sound they can make. Growling, fake coughing, and raspberries are completely normal vocal experimentation Behavior #3: They throw EVERYTHING on the floor constantly Babies learn cause and effect by repeating actions. Throwing and watching things fall is how they understand the world around them Behavior #4: They suddenly wake up crying more at night The 7-8 month sleep regression is one of the most intense Behavior #5: They get frustrated VERY easily Their brain develops faster than their physical abilities. They know exactly what they want but can't do it yet. Completely normal at this stage Behavior #6: Refusing a food they loved yesterday. Appetites swing day to day at this age - totally normal That's why I log foods in BabyPlate app - it keeps their variety and iron on track even on refusal days, and flags any reactions BabyPlate: start solids BLW meals and track solids Get In-App Purchases
