Congratulations on reaching the 19-week mark with your little one! Time truly flies, doesn’t it? At this stage, your baby might be starting to teethe, if they haven’t begun the process already. Teething can make it easier for them to munch on solid foods, but it also means that just about anything in sight—from the edges of your furniture to the family dog’s toys—might become a makeshift teething toy for your tiny explorer.
If you find yourself navigating the chaos of teething pain, don’t hesitate to establish some boundaries with family and friends. Remember, when your baby isn’t happy, it can affect everyone in the house. To help soothe your little one’s discomfort, consider some effective strategies that you can find in our blog post on teething remedies. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to treat yourself with some well-deserved relaxation; rumor has it that grocery stores offer discounts on wine for weary moms (or maybe that’s just a myth).
Physical, Social, and Cognitive Milestones
When it comes to language development, keep an eye on how your baby responds when you talk to them. At this age, they may start to mimic you, offering smiles as they coo away or scrunching their brows as if they’re giving you a piece of their mind in baby babble. (Yes, that’s a real phenomenon—consider yourself lucky that you can’t fully decipher their sass just yet!)
