The baby clapping milestone usually occurs around 6 to 9 months of age and is a significant sign of their developing motor skills and coordination. Clapping shows that the baby is learning to control their hand movements, mimic others, and engage socially. It's also a way for babies to express excitement and joy. Reaching this milestone indicates growth in physical development, fine motor skills, and social interaction, and it often coincides with other skills like waving and pointing. Parents can encourage clapping by singing songs or playing games that involve hand movements.
