The more your baby has been moving their arms and legs, the more they have started to understand where their body begins and ends. This understanding of themselves is further enhanced through their interactions with other people, so through being held, comforted and entertained by those around them.[1] Your baby will now be starting to explore toys and objects and will notice their reflection in a mirror; at this stage they won't realise that the baby that they see in the mirror is themselves.
