This document provides information on infant development milestones at 2 months of age. It lists skills in social/emotional, language/communication, cognitive, and physical development areas that most babies can do at this stage, such as beginning to smile, making sounds, following objects briefly with their eyes. It advises parents to track their baby's progress and discuss it at well-baby doctor visits. Parents should talk to the doctor if their baby is not meeting milestones like responding to sounds or supporting their head, as this could signal developmental delays.
