One of the most important milestones at 8 weeks is your baby's ability to recognize a variety of colors, shapes, and textures. They will enjoy looking up at objects suspended from the air. They will be able to attempt hand-eye coordination for the first time. They will be able to bat objects with their hands and will also demonstrate a great deal of determination and willfulness. Parents can encourage this development by letting their baby play with objects directly above them. It doesn't matter if the objects are expensive or not; any object will do.
Baby's coordination is improving
As your baby continues to grow, you will notice that their coordination is improving rapidly. As their arms become more fluid, they will be able to move with greater precision. Additionally, their neck muscles and head muscles are strengthening. They will soon be capable of supporting their heads independently and holding onto toys with their fingertips.
He can't lift his head from his stomach while he is lying down.
A milestone that is extremely important is holding your baby's heads up. This is a prerequisite to many other milestones. If your baby still has difficulty doing it at this time, you might consider occupational therapy or early intervention.
He isn't able to hold onto a bottle
You may find it difficult to get your baby to latch on to a glass of water. A baby may have difficulty grasping a bottle because the nipple is too small. In addition, the bottle may be too hot. You can solve this problem by adjusting the bottle's temperature. If your baby has difficulty latching onto the bottle, it is worth keeping a diary and discussing your concerns with your doctor.
He can't make single vowel sounds
If you have a baby over 8 weeks old, he's likely to be unable to make single vowel sounds yet, but that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do! He should be taught to speak, talk, and interact. This is a crucial milestone for your child's development, and you can discuss your concerns with your health visitor or GP.
He now sleeps for longer periods at a time
Your baby has reached the developmental age of six to eight weeks. Your baby is ready to move from daytime to nighttime sleep. Your baby might protest initially, as they are used to sleeping with cuddles and snack while asleep. Fortunately, you have a lot of control over your baby's sleep habits and can help them adjust.
He's getting more vocal
Eight weeks old may see your baby becoming more aware of sound. He might also start making single vowel sound. He may also start lifting his head and chest when held, and he's also learned how to hold a rattle. He may smile or giggle if you give him raspberries to eat.
