The sound thing was a red flag for my mom. She had the stereo turn up loud next to my basent and I never woke up. Then one time there was a loud sound and I was baby and didn't flinch. and my mom knew something didn't seem right. I was born deaf. I'm 27 and I love my deafness. I'm proud of it. Love my culture and language. But was my mom who figured it out.

I love that. My aunt was deaf. The community of deaf are the sweetest. God bless✌😊

Aw, I'm so sad that you stopped at 2 months! I appreciate the two milestone videos you made though -- thank you. My friend recommended your channel to me last night, and I'm almost through all your vids (I'm home with a newborn, haha). I've done all you've asked: I've subscribed, I've liked all your videos, and I've been kind in the only three comments I've left.... Sooo.....what do you say? More baby videos? Pleeeease? 🙏 ☺️ I'm in emergency medicine, so I'd love to see ER and Scrubs reactions, as others have suggested. You're a phenomenal gal. Love your channel 😍

[@silverscapes9628]

Also, it’s important to note that if a baby is excelling in one category, they are often behind in the adjacent one. For instance, if they’re ahead in large motor movements (like rolling, lifting their head) they probably aren’t focusing on small motor movements (like pushing their binki in or moving fingers individually). This is normal and okay. As long as they don’t stop progressing in each area, no reason for concern.

[@Rrrnate]

Is there a 3 months development video?

[@xXsinners6969Xx]

I really thought I was doing something wrong because my baby still can’t hold up her head real high. Iv seen videos of other babies who hold up their head pretty high.. this was just so reassuring

[@BubblyViolin11]

You probably won't see this since it's been so long, but if there's a way you could continue this series (even w/o vids of Pax), it would be SO helpful. A lot of preschool teachers I've worked with said they were surprised that some of the parents they work with aren't always aware of what kinds of ways their baby should be developing/what's normal and to be expected. A series like this would be able to help a lot of new parents out.

-My 2-1/2 months by boy was guffawing! But, he was just extra happy that he could laugh at all without pain since having an inguinal and hydrocele hernia prenatally and until that point had prevented much of any happiness. Before the surgeries he laughed like a c-section patient in recovery (I would know, I was one). -On the other hand, at my house (as compared to his dad's), he didn't didn't self-sooth until after his toddler years. But, he was a good manipulator with me, too. My boy's neck was strong. I wasn't expecting that he would be able to hold head up at just a few weeks old.

Hi Mama Doctor Jones! I've been following your channel for some time now, and I think I've already watched all the videos you've posted in the past 2 years or more, but I've just stumbled across this one now and found it so interesting! I tried to look at your channel to find other videos on pregnancy and baby stages, but couldn't find a playlist... Do you have more videos like this? I imagine this might not be your primary audience, but it'd be so cool to learn more about those with you... Ps. Congrats on the recent 1M!!! You totally deserve it!!

[@ak8990]

love your video. very encouraging. some videos make you worry your kid isn't progressing normally, but yours is very uplifting! thanks!

[@carrieseymour5197]

I'm told I wasn't tracking objects when I should have been and had significant delays in my visual development. My eyesight caught up, but my facial recognition never did. I'd missed the window where I should have developed that and I grew up with face-blindness, and also struggle to read facial expressions or follow someone else's gaze.

[@dakotamabry1645]

I learned facial expressions out of survival - I can read subtle micro aggressions that Indicates I need to back off and what not .. also can see if someone is in a good mood .. it comes at a cost though - my feelings get hurt quite a bit .. when I read the spacing out and small amounts of annoyance from people closes to me .. and I get angry when unprovoked erratic subtle anger erupts .. very few people I can't read or hide their emotions successfully .. I think you just didn't have a need for it so it's often a feature that you don't have a need to develop.. I also was bullied and didn't have many freinds so I often watch and listened to people talking to experience being part of a group . I can read people , it's just socializing is very hard due to my family thinking children should be seen and not heard and me not having alot of freinds that stick around and socialize with.

I’m still bleeding steadily with no signs of stopping and though I called my doctor’s nurse (she dismissed my concerns by telling me it’s probably my period??), I still feel like something isn’t quite right.

jennifer Sisemore the same thing happened to me and my ob did an ultrasound to make sure there wasn’t anything still in there. It turned out I was fine but I think you should insist that they check you out to make sure!

3 month old milestone vid?

[@macksthetigerchild3417]

I know this is a super old video but maybe someone will see this comment who knows and can answer. If babies start to learn to self-soothe around this time, would you also see the beginning developments of stimming behaviors from autistic infants at this point? I know it may be hard to differentiate since stimming is a self-soothing behavior, but I was curious about this. I’m trying to track my own stimming through my childhood and I’ve been surprised to find that I’ve been doing it a lot longer than I thought I had.

It depends on when baby is starting to roll. Stop swaddling arms in when you see that baby is rolling.

I JUST stopped swaddling my son at 13 weeks because he had no indication of rolling in his sleep until this week. Now he's sleeping well without his swaddle. It just requires diligence on the part of the parent.

[@SF-pe3qf]

Swaddling is safe and encouraged during sleep until babies start to show signs of rolling - usually 3-4 months. As for the cord, I’ll give MDJ the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s on the outside of the crib rail.
