7 WEEKS PREGNANT

Watch video on - Baby's Reaction to Mom and Dad Singing

• Your baby has lost his curled up newborn look, and is starting to look like a real little person! He's likely to appear more steady and alert when you hold him upright.
• Your baby's acutely aware of other sounds too, like bells, barking dogs, vacuum cleaners and whistles.
• She may kick with pleasure at these sounds, cry out or quiet down to get a better listen. Just be sure to note which sounds calm down your baby best so you can recreate them when you need it most!

To make sure your baby continues to meet developmental milestones, be sure to keep giving her plenty of tummy time practice (always supervised) so she gets the opportunity to flex muscles she’ll eventually need for a variety of skills, including sitting up.

You’ve probably noticed that your baby's neck is still wobbly and lacks the strength to support itself. Since your newborn spends most of their time sleeping or lying down, insufficient neck support can lead to a flat head. To prevent this your baby needs a pillow that ensures optimal comfort and proper head shape. Try Mylo Baby Pillow , which:

• Provides neck support.
• Prevents flat head syndrome.
• Is wear-resistant & travel-friendly.

How to Make Tummy Time Fun?

• If tummy time feels more like torture to her than fun? Find ways to make it more enjoyable:
• Put her tummy down on your chest while you do your sit-ups and add some funny faces and silly noises with each rep.
• Get down on the floor face-to-face with your baby and entertain her with a special toy or mirror.
• Vary the view from her tummy by doing it in the living room for a minute or two in the morning and your bedroom in the afternoon.
• Try using a tummy time pillow or play mat for a more interesting perspective.
• Maybe give her a massage while she’s on her belly. Or, give her a belly break and try again when she’s in a more amenable mood.

Tap, Tap, Tap: When the baby is laying on her back, sing a song. While you’re singing, tap the bottom of her feet in time with the song. Baby will love hearing your voice and the tapping gives her a new sound experience she may not have had yet. It helps the baby develop listening skills.
