6-Month-Old Developmental Milestones Checklist

6-Month Baby Development Checkpoint Quiz

1. Does your baby know familiar people (e.g., smile or reach out to parents or caregivers)?

2. Does your baby respond to their own name (e.g., turn their head or look at you)?

3. Does your baby look around at things nearby (e.g., toys or objects in their environment)?

4. Can your baby roll over in both directions (front to back and back to front)?

5. Does your baby show happiness by smiling or show distress by crying when play stops?

6. Does your baby make gurgling or cooing sounds?

7. Does your baby bring objects to their mouth to explore them?

8. Can your baby sit without support (or with minimal help)?

9. Does your baby take turns making sounds with you (e.g., babbling back and forth)?

10. Does your baby try to grab a toy just out of reach?

Please note, that this quiz is CDC-Based Content: The 10 questions cover key milestones from the CDC’s 6-month checklist, including social/emotional (Q1, Q5), language/communication (Q2, Q6, Q9), cognitive (Q3, Q7, Q10), and movement/physical development (Q4, Q8).

At six months, babies are curious, more interactive, and ready for new experiences. However, they still need plenty of rest and comfort. A simple plan with a daily schedule can help you balance their needs and encourage healthy development.

About the Author

Hi, I'm Iva — mom, hobby herbalist, and the voice behind Toddler in Action. I hold a Master's in Economics and worked as a tax advisor. I walked away from my corporate career to stay home with my child — and that one decision changed everything: I've started a blog, homeschooled, co-founded Livingston Global Academy with my husband, and learned to heal my kid naturally when medication wasn't an option. I share our first-hand experience as we go — the real life - messy, meaningful, and everything in between.
