In addition to crying, your 6-week-old baby may start making sounds like coos and gurgling noises. During tummy time, he might turn his head from side to side, or raise his head for brief periods as his neck muscles develop. He may also be able to push himself upwards using his arms.
Development
-
Your 6-week-old baby is beginning to reach for objects and practicing his grip. Expect him to grab your finger, his rattle, or any other item within his reach as he discovers the existence of his fingers, and his eye-hand coordination develops.
-
Your newborn may sleep for longer periods. If you’re lucky, your 6-week-old baby may start sleeping up to 4 hours at a time during the night. This phase in his development is crucial to helping establish a nighttime sleep routine.
Some tips
-
You can encourage your baby to move his head and strengthen his neck muscles by placing him on his tummy while he’s awake, or by standing just outside his line of vision.
-
Reinforce your 6-week-old baby’s sleep schedule by putting him to bed when he’s sleepy but still awake, or establishing a relaxing nighttime ritual like massaging him, reading him a story, or rocking him gently and singing to him.
- Expose your baby to music during the 6-week period to develop his sensory development. Any type of music should help - your baby would appreciate whatever song you choose. He might even move his arms and coo if he likes the music.
