You and your baby have come a long way since birth! At 6 months, most babies are capable of sleeping for at least 6 to 8 hours, and you may notice that your baby can sit upright and reach out for objects like food on your table. Around the same time that your baby is able to sit and reach, his or her swallowing and chewing muscles are also maturing, a sign that your baby is getting ready to eat solid foods. As your baby is likely to become more active, it is probably a good time to start baby-proofing the house to ensure that you are ready for when your baby starts scooting and crawling. Hide
