How old are babies usually when they start playing with their feet?

I’m just enjoying my son, he is 3 months old and ever since he was 2 months he has been in love with his toes. He gets excited if he can reach them and try to put them in his mouth. I thought babies did that older, but he was rolling over at 1 month. I have 4 other kids and he seems to be doing things faster than they did….except holding up his head, they all did it at 2 months and he’s still a bit floppy.

How old are most babies when they find their feet?

    My son was 5 months old when he started to play with his feet he was so interested in them at 6 months he was trying to put his feet in his mouth.

    Usually around 4-5 months. My son was 5 months when he started to play with his. For the head I would suggest more tummy time. We did tummy time at 3 months for about 20-30 mins every day about 3 times a day. My son loved tummy time. He had excellent control of his head at 2 months.

    My son was 3 months when he found his feet too… now that’s all he does is play with them when he’s laying down or sitting (started that at 4 months).

    Mine did around 4 months. She is 12 months now and still will find them fascinating at times.

    Around 2-3 months both my babies became quite fascinated with their feet, especially during diaper changes. Made getting the diaper on a real challenge, lol.

    5-6months

    I remember the exact day my son put his foot in his mouth the first time,
    because it was at my 6 week postnatal check-up
    so he was 6 weeks old
    now he’s almost 6 months old and he doesn’t play with his feet as much as he used to,
    but they are still among the top ten of his favorite toys, lol

    He didn’t hold his head up very well until 3 months old
    didn’t roll over until 4 months old
    But he started playing with his feet at 6 weeks old
    and the pediatrican says he’s always been unusually vocal for his age
    (doesn’t turn 6 months until next week but already says “mama”)
