Congratulations! Your little one has reached 33 weeks, which means they’re nearly three-quarters of the way through their first year. It’s hard to believe how quickly time flies! At this age, you might notice your baby forming attachments to certain stuffed animals, toys, or even blankets. This means not only do you have to keep track of your baby when you head out but also ensure that their beloved security item is safely packed. Pro tip: Consider getting a backup lovey, just in case the original goes missing!
Milestones in Physical, Social, and Cognitive Development
At 33 weeks, your baby may be particularly attached to you—especially during nursing sessions. While the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months and then complementing it with solid foods for the rest of the year, some moms find that formula works better for them. Whatever feeding method you choose, remember that as long as you are nurturing and feeding your baby, you’re doing an amazing job!
As your baby becomes more mobile, it’s crucial to adjust the crib mattress to prevent any nighttime accidents. You wouldn’t want to wake up to the sound of your little explorer tumbling out of bed! Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Most of this information can be found directly on the mattress board, but if you can’t locate it, don’t hesitate to check online or reach out to the manufacturer. Safety first: no one wants a crib that can’t support your baby’s weight.
