Congratulations on your precious little one! At 10 weeks old, your baby is growing and developing in wonderful ways. Let's explore some important aspects of their development:

Physical Development:

• Motor skills:

  • Your baby may be showing more head control and stability while being held or during tummy time.

  • They may start to exhibit increased arm and leg movements, bringing their hands together and kicking more intentionally.

• Body Development:

  • As your baby’s hip and knee joints grow stronger, he may be able to push himself off against you with his feet if you place him on your lap. Just make sure you support the back of his neck and head with your hands.

  • Your 10-week baby’s digestive system is also developing, and this may come with two major benefits: a) he can now absorb more nutrients from your milk, and b) he poops less frequently. However, if he drinks formula, he might still soil himself daily.

Sensory Development:

• Vision:

  • Your baby’s vision keeps developing. During his 1st week, your son had limited eyesight, but at 10 weeks, he can now track your hands and face. If you hold a toy about 7 inches in front of him, your baby may be able to focus his eyes on the object and follow it.

  • They may show interest in faces and toys, focusing their gaze for longer periods.

  • Your 10-week-old baby’s eye-hand coordination keeps improving as well. He can now put his hands together and try to grab the toy.

• Hearing:

  • Your baby's ability to localize sounds is developing, and they may turn their head toward familiar voices or sounds.

  • They may respond to your voice by cooing, babbling, or making other vocalizations.

Sleep Patterns:

• By 10 weeks old, your baby may begin to establish more predictable sleep patterns.

• They may sleep for around 14 to 16 hours a day, with longer stretches of nighttime sleep and shorter periods of wakefulness during the day.

Feeding and Nutrition:

• Breastfeeding or formula feeding continues to provide essential nutrition for your baby's growth.

• Your baby's feeding sessions may become more efficient, and they may take larger volumes of milk at each feeding.

• Look for hunger cues and offer frequent feedings as needed, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed feeding environment.

Social and Emotional Development:

• Your baby is forming stronger bonds with you and other caregivers.

• They may respond to your voice, smile, or touch with delightful expressions.

• Look for signs of early social interactions, such as cooing, making eye contact, and attempting to imitate facial expressions.

Parental Support:

• Your love, care, and presence are crucial for your baby's well-being and development.

• Engage in nurturing activities, such as talking, singing, and gentle playtime.

• Respond to your baby's needs promptly and provide a secure and loving environment.

Remember, each baby is unique, and development occurs at an individual pace. Embrace this precious time with your little one, cherishing the moments as they grow. If you have any questions or concerns about your baby's growth or development, don't hesitate to consult with your healthcare provider for guidance and support.

Some tips

• Since your 10-week-old baby is now better at picking out familiar faces (and you may have started using babywearing accessories last week), bring him to the table during meals so that he can socialize with other members of your household.

• As your son still can’t tell you what he wants, you’ll have to learn his signals:

  • Making sucking noises and sucking his hands? He’s hungry

  • Rubbing his eyes and yawning repeatedly? He’s sleepy.

  • Arches his back and starts crying? He’s in discomfort.
