A baby hears applause at a show and enthusiastically joins in. When the clapping stops, the baby continues their joyful solo performance, clapping with pure delight. The parents watch with tender amusement as their little one creates their own encore. | Jarche

👶 When Do Babies Start Clapping? 👏 Most little ones start clapping around 6-9 months old, as they begin mastering their hand-eye coordination and motor skills! It’s such a heart-melting milestone 🥹 But remember, each baby grows at their own pace – some may clap a little earlier or take a bit longer. ✨ To encourage clapping, try clapping along to songs, make it fun, and cheer them on when they imitate! 👏💕 Want more tips like this?
