Which infant milestone is typically seen by 2 months?

• A. Lifts head briefly when prone; follows moving objects with eyes; turns toward voices; begins cooing and social interaction
• B. Sits unaided; walks; uses words
• C. Rolls over; stands; pincer grasp
• D. Sleeps through night; smiles on sight

Answer: (A)

Two months is a time when babies rapidly develop head control, visual tracking, early social responsiveness, and sounds. Lifting the head briefly when placed on the tummy shows improving neck and upper-body strength. Following moving objects with the eyes demonstrates advancing visual attention, and turning toward voices indicates budding auditory processing and social engagement. Beginning to coo reflects the start of early language and communication skills. Together, these milestones across motor, vision, and social growth fit what many healthy infants do around two months.

Other options describe abilities that typically appear later (sitting unaided, walking, and words) or mix in skills not reliably present at this age (the pincers grasp or standing). While a baby’s sleep patterns and smile timing can vary, the set of milestones described here most accurately matches the two-month developmental window.
