Learn about the developments that may take place in your baby by the seventh week of her development.

Your baby is now almost halfway through his or her second month here with you in this crazy world. A lot of things have changed since when your baby first came home from the hospital. You have finally started to fall into a routine where you do not have to panic and expect something new to happen every moment. You also understand your baby a lot better now and she has also learnt to recognise people who are around her throughout the day. So as your little one steps into the seventh week of their life, here are some things that youâ€™ll see and experience in this fresh new week.

Your Baby Can Now Differentiate Voices

As the seventh week begins, you will be very happy to find out that your baby can now recognise both your voice and your partnerâ€™s voice. She knows when her mother is not around. Your baby knows your voice and can easily track you if you are nearby or in the next room.

Bold Shapes and Patterns Will Excite Your Baby

As your baby grows, their sight gets better. Instead of simple colours, textures or patterns, your baby will now be excited to see bolder colours and more complex patterns. Brightly or boldly coloured objects are now going to become an absolute favourite for your baby. So now is the perfect time for you to buy those multi-coloured and age-appropriate toys for your baby. Your baby is going to play and inspect them for rather long periods of time until her curiosity is satisfied and she discovers the thing she was looking for.

Sound Making Toys Will Become Her Favourite

Along with sight improvement, your baby will get better at hearing sounds at this age as well. Any new sound at any corner of the room will attract your baby. She will try to turn towards the sound immediately. Some of the baby toys that make clanking or pinging and squeaking sounds are the best gifts for a baby of seven weeks.

Perfect Period to Start Learning

During the seventh week, you will get the first opportunity to teach new things to your baby. During this week you are going to find that at lots of moments your baby will become quiet and will be highly alert. This would be the perfect time to help your baby learn. During these periods of alertness, talk to your baby, read them stories, show them new colours or patterns. The faster she understands the language, the sooner she will start talking. At this particular time a babyâ€™s brain grows very fast. Therefore, her power to learn is faster than any other point in her life. So put these periods of quietness to good use.

Your Baby Will Start Grabbing Things

By the seventh week, your babyâ€™s motor skills have developed quite a bit. Therefore, she will learn to control her hands and fingers in a much better manner. So, now she will try to grab everything that is within her reach. And when she do grab on to something, she absolutely do not want to let go. So you should be careful about the things you keep within the reach of your babyâ€™s hand because the first thing she will do after she grabs onto something small is that she will put it in her mouth. So if you want your baby to be safe, keep all the dangerous things out of her reach.

So keep an eye on your baby at all times and help her learn new things as she grows. The faster she learns, the better it is for you.
