Congratulations, you now have a 22-week-old baby! It’s time to relax about those milestones, Mama!
At this stage, many babies start to show their first signs of mobility, either by scooting on the floor or rolling around during tummy time. If your little one is already crawling, be vigilant about what’s on the floor. Babies at this age have a knack for putting everything they find into their mouths—except, of course, for the actual food you want them to eat. Why would they ever choose that?
Understanding Your 22-Week-Old Baby’s Development
Not seeing any movement yet? No need to worry. Developmental milestones are merely guidelines, and many babies might not show interest in crawling for a few more months. Consider yourself lucky; once they start moving, your life will take on a whole new level of chaos!
Physical, Social, and Cognitive Progress
On the cognitive front, your baby is making significant advancements. They can now distinguish between living beings (like you and the family pet) and non-living objects (such as toys and that one relative who never leaves the couch). They understand that while living things can move on their own, inanimate objects need assistance—especially from you!
If you want to keep your baby safe from hazards (and from discovering your unmentionables, which they will undoubtedly showcase to guests), this is a prime time to enhance your baby-proofing efforts. A good starting point? Your bedside drawer.
