Congratulations, you now have a 37-week-old baby!
Your Baby’s Mischievous Nature is Emerging
Time is indeed flying by, and before you know it, your little one will be off to kindergarten, then high school, and… let’s not rush it. At this stage, your baby might have discovered the art of mischief, which is a sign of developing an understanding of cause and effect. You might find yourself repeatedly picking up their sippy cup as they delightfully giggle from their high chair throne. It seems they’ve realized their royal status over you, their devoted parent. But let’s be honest, their cuteness makes it hard to be upset.
Development and Growth Milestones at 37 Weeks
At this age, your baby should be sleeping around 13-14 hours each day. If they’re not in the mood to make your life easy, they might skip naps altogether, leaving you wondering if sleep is for the weak. If your little one is a good sleeper, you might find yourself whispering sweet nothings to them, such as “You’re my favorite.”
Babies at this stage love experimenting with their pincer grip, often trying to fit smaller objects into larger ones. They can become frustrated when their attempts to fit bigger items into smaller spaces don’t succeed. They’re simply trying to make sense of the world around them, and like tiny rulers, they want things to go their way. Fortunately, they are easily distracted, especially by your items: keys, phones, remotes, and even your last shred of sanity.
So, embrace these moments! Your baby will soon transition into a lively toddler before you can even say “potty training.” So, go ahead and bend down a few more times to retrieve that sippy cup, just to hear that delightful laugh.
