Congratulations! Your baby is officially 44 weeks old. At this stage, you can expect to see some exciting developmental milestones.
Your 44-Week-Old Baby’s Growth and Progress
By now, your little one should be confidently sitting up. They may also be squatting, pulling themselves up, cruising along furniture, or perhaps even managing to sit back down with ease. But remember, every child develops at their own pace. Some babies prefer to observe their surroundings from a stable position, while others are eager to explore and venture out.
If your little adventurer is crawling, you might have noticed the knees of their pants showing signs of wear — sadly, this is just the beginning! As they become more mobile, those cute outfits are bound to take a beating. If you’re handy with a needle and thread, keep a patch kit close by. And if you know how to sew, maybe you can teach us a thing or two!
Physical, Social, and Cognitive Development
Your baby is likely improving their fine motor skills, mastering the ability to hold an object in one hand while engaging in a different activity with the other. This skill will come in handy for various tasks down the line—think of it as training for future college games of beer pong!
As your little one becomes more mobile, it’s crucial to ensure your home remains a safe environment. Babies are notorious for putting anything they find into their mouths, so it’s wise to check that all your houseplants are non-toxic. Removing any harmful varieties will help prevent unnecessary trips to the ER over something like a rogue poinsettia.
Another clever idea? Why not strap some rags to your crawler’s knees and let them do a little floor cleaning? After all, they’re almost a year old—perhaps it’s time they started pitching in around the house!
