Hello,
Smiling back, laughing, and making eye contact are appropriate social milestones for her age.
Regarding the other social milestones you mentioned—such as imitating sounds, copying facial expressions, and enjoying looking at herself in the mirror—you can continue to observe her closely. She may achieve these over the next couple of months.
Around 6 months of age, infants usually begin babbling sounds like “ma,” “ba,” and “da,” and may squeal with joy. If her motor milestones, such as good neck control and rolling over, have been achieved appropriately, there is no need to worry.
Every infant develops at their own pace, and there is generally an acceptable variation of about 2 months in achieving developmental milestones. Continue to interact with her by talking, singing, playing, and encouraging face-to-face communication. If you notice delays across multiple developmental domains or if you have ongoing concerns, do consult your paediatrician for a developmental assessment.
