- Need to start thinking of age appropriate toys that will help keep baby entertained, as well as help baby learn.
- Good toys for babyies this age would include rattles, crinkly toys, noise makers, toys they can hold with their hand, but that are big enough that they can’t swallow them. Remember, anyhing that could fit through a toilet paper roll could be dangerous for baby
- Keep toys away from baby that are small, sharp, or have little pieces that may break off. Remember that everything that makes it in baby’s hand will probably make it into her mouth at this point, so don’t let her play with stuffed animals or other toys that have glued on eyes, noses, etc.
Developement Milestone..
- Able to raise up on their arms by now.
- some that can move their upper body with their arms might actually learn how to do the “army crawl”, where they use their arms to move themselves around the house.
What to concern at 14 weeks..
Where did the wiggle worm come from!? For some reason, baby now just won’t lay still when you are trying to change her diaper or trying to get her dressed. You might be finding it hard to place your baby on her changing table, and accomplish the diaper change in just a few seconds. The more frustrated you get, the more humorous your baby will probably find it.
Remember that your baby is just learning and growing. At this point it is probably best to make sure you are using straps on your changing table, to keep the baby from falling off. If you do not have straps, try placing baby in the middle of a large bed or on the floor when you are changing him. At least then if she is moving around, you know she won’t fall off and get hurt. Never leave your baby alone and unattended however while changing (or any other time) unless she is on the floor and can’t get hurt.
