Your 12-week-old baby may experience another growth spurt, and it shows in his feeding frequency. Rather than the usual 3 to 4 hours between feedings, your son might want milk every 2 hours during the day. If you’re breastfeeding, don’t worry; your body will produce more milk within a couple of days to keep up with his need.
Development
-
If he hasn’t yet, your 12-week-old baby might have noticed his hands during this time. He may also catch on to the fact that each hand has fingers, and he can place these digits in his mouth. Don’t discourage this behavior - it will eventually pass. Unless he was crawling somewhere dirty, there’s no need to fuss about cleaning his hands regularly.
Some tips
-
Tummy time is an important part of your baby’s daily routine. It helps develop his motor skills, and strengthen his neck and back. If your 12-week-old baby doesn’t enjoy tummy time (he probably hates it), make it engaging by laying on your back and putting him face-down on your chest. You can then sing to him or make faces to keep him entertained.

Does your baby have red, tender skin on his thighs, bum, and genitals, and cries when you clean the area? He might have diaper rash. Here are a few tips on how to treat it:
