The question

The parents of a 4-month-old infant ask the nurse what developmental milestones they should expect over the next two months. The nurse reviews anticipatory guidance for the 4- to 6-month period. Which response by the nurse best reflects normal developmental expectations for a 6-month-old infant?

  1. "Your baby should be able to sit without support and pull to a standing position by 6 months."
  2. "At 6 months, infants typically develop a neat pincer grasp and begin feeding themselves finger foods."
  3. "You can expect your baby to start walking along furniture and saying two to three recognizable words by 6 months."
  4. "By 6 months, most infants can roll from back to front, bear weight on their legs when held upright, and begin transferring objects between hands."
