Congratulations! Your little one is now 30 weeks old. As she grows, she has become quite skilled at interpreting your emotions and showing her preferences. This newfound ability means she is likely to mimic the actions and expressions of those around her, including siblings and caregivers. Now is the time to be on your best behavior (which can be challenging, we understand!).
Physical, Social, and Cognitive Milestones at 30 Weeks
If you’ve noticed your baby picking up a few, shall we say, less desirable habits, it’s important to redirect her gently but firmly, particularly if she has a tendency to bite or hit. While there’s no need to panic over these “problem” behaviors—remember, biting at 30 weeks does not mean she’ll grow up to be a serial killer—it is a good idea to start teaching her the importance of kindness, as she is now more attuned to the feelings of others.
This is also the perfect opportunity to reinforce the concept of object permanence, which is her understanding that objects still exist even when they’re out of sight. You can do this by partially hiding her favorite toy under a blanket during playtime. When you reveal the hidden part, it will help her grasp this concept. This simple game will soon become a favorite, as she inevitably tries to hide your glasses or phone whenever she gets the chance. Just remember, even if you can’t check your email, you’re actively contributing to her brain development in the process!

In summary, at 30 weeks, your baby is developing crucial physical, social, and cognitive skills. Paying attention to her behavior and introducing concepts like object permanence can greatly enhance her learning experience.
