The Baby : Week 7

While the baby makes you the centre of his life, you may be wondering what you were doing before you had him! His new discoveries and grins and coos and sighs make your life go so vibrant and new that imagining life without him will be unthinkable. He’s on his cutest best, and loves the time that Maa and Paa give to him, conversing singing of tickling him. He has opened his eyes wide and knows when his Maa’s voice echoes in the room or his Paa calls him out. You will find new love in each other too, and this is another reward in being parents.

Your Baby:

Activity, yes lots of activity is on the cards. His sensory development is taking place at a fast pace, he can hold his eyes longer and focus more. Your baby loves those shapes and sounds, and you are busy decoding what he likes best basis the expressions and the coos and grins. In some time from now, you will have your own language with the little one, and he will give you signs on what he likes or doesn’t want to see. His tummy time has abled him to lift his head a little more, and the champ is on his way to lift himself up on his arms. He tires himself doing this, so he still needs to be fed 3-4 times a day. He probably sleeps for 2-3 hours at a stretch now. He has also found his fingers, he soothes himself by sucking one of them. It’s fine, he’s only 6 weeks old! He wants to grab everything, and likes the touch and feel of textures. Give him your finger and he will instantly grasp it. That also implies that no hard or sharp things be kept near him. He’d like some soft toys, though, and a rattler will be good too.

You, Mama
