Everyone knows that at a certain stage, children will recognize people very well. From birth, babies will not recognize people, and no matter who holds them, they will not cry. However, as time goes by, babies will cry and start to recognize people. But there are very few children who cannot recognize people, so is it normal for babies not to recognize people? Let's learn about it together below!
Is it normal for babies to not recognize people
A baby who is 7-8 months old begins to become familiar with the people around him, who have been taking care of him and who are strangers. The little one already knows very well in their heart. So when strangers appear, they will show a hostile attitude, which is known as identification behavior. For those who take long-term care of him, the baby will become increasingly dependent. When someone tries to lift him away from his mother, he will cry due to changes in the environment. But there are also some children who do not recognize others, which is related to their own health. As long as the child's body is healthy, parents do not need to worry too much.
What are the behaviors of babies in recognizing people
1. Staring at your face for a long time
If your baby keeps staring at your face while breastfeeding and still has a lingering expression, it indicates that they are able to recognize your face.
2. Can distinguish your voice
Sometimes when you entrust your baby to someone else to take care of, although they will play with others, as soon as you speak, their little heads will turn towards you like a tambourine, which is also their way of recognizing people.
3. Search for you in the crowd
When babies hear your voice, you are like a target, their attention will be completely focused on your voice, and their gaze will cross the vast sea of people, just to catch a glance at you.
Under normal circumstances, babies will experience recognition as they age. However, some babies may not recognize others due to personality issues or when their parents are not around for a long time. No matter who the baby is with, they will not cry or fuss. This is a very normal situation, as long as the child's health is not a problem, parents do not need to worry too much.
