In the development of the 7-month-old baby, it is likely that he may already be able to move around voluntarily by crawling, crawling or rolling towards some distant object, and moving objects from hand to hand with ease.
By 7 months the baby should already be able to cry loudly and make high-pitched sounds and begin to express their desires with irritation. With regard to language, you should start having fun forming syllables with some vowels and consonants, such as "da-da", "pá-pá" or "má-má".
At this age, the baby likes some doll that he can bite, handle and hit and adopt as his companion. It still does not interact very well with other children although I like to observe them.
It is at the end of the seventh month that you begin to develop your memory, being an important milestone to start learning more from your own experiences.
The 7-month-old baby's dentition boils down to 2 lower central teeth, although it is not uncommon for some babies to have teeth by 12 months or to be born long before 7 months.
Each baby has its own pace of development, so it is important to respect it. In addition, it is crucial to take the baby to the pediatrician regularly for him to evaluate their growth and development.

Baby feeding at 7 months
In feeding the baby with 7 months is indicated:
- Offer fresh fruits, although it may be possible to offer fruits in jams such as apple, pear or peach;
- Add meat or fish to chips or soups;
- Offer bread or wafer for baby to bite after meals;
- Knead meals with a fork instead of being beaten in the blender to have a higher fiber concentration;
- one can offer natural yoghurt suitable for babies and with aromas, but it is forbidden to give yoghurts with aromas of wild berries (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant), and you can also make a yogurt hit in the blender with biscuits and fruits (being an option for an afternoon snack);
- Give a fruit as dessert after lunch and dinner.
In addition to these recommendations, the baby should drink about 700 ml of milk per day. See recipes for baby food for 7 months.
