Between 6-8 months, which milestones are typical?

• A. Raise head from a supine position, recognize sounds and make associations, and sit without support.
• B. Begin to crawl and stand.
• C. Speak in complete sentences.
• D. Begin to walk.

Answer: (A)

At six to eight months, infants show a blend of motor and cognitive development. They gain better head and trunk control, so they can lift their head and chest when on their stomach and often sit with little or no support for short periods. They also begin to process sounds more actively, turning toward familiar noises and starting to associate sounds with people or objects. This combination—improved head control, emerging independent sitting, and auditory-cognitive responsiveness—fits the six-to-eight-month window. By contrast, crawling and standing tend to emerge later, speaking in complete sentences comes much later, and walking usually begins around the first birthday or after.
