Your Baby’s Development at 21 Weeks
Congratulations! Your little one is now 21 weeks old!
What’s that delightful sound? It might just be your baby trying to say their first word—fingers crossed for “Mama!” At this age, babies are keen to mimic the sounds around them, so make sure they can see your face while you talk. Watching your lips move can inspire them to try out new sounds themselves.
A quick heads-up though: your baby will start mimicking everything you say soon enough. So, it might be wise to tone down any colorful language. The last thing you want is for your little one’s second word to be something a bit questionable. If a slip happens, no worries! Just establish some ground rules about language early on. It never hurts to set expectations from the get-go, right?
Your Baby’s Milestones at 21 Weeks
Wondering why your baby sometimes prefers to be alone instead of cuddling up with you? Don’t take it personally! At this stage, babies begin to enjoy their own company as they explore and understand their environment. So, take a moment for yourself—put your feet up and relish that fleeting peace.
Savor these sweet chats with your baby while they’re still keen to engage. Before you know it, they’ll be a teenager, and “girl talk” will be replaced by grunts and eye rolls. Enjoy this phase while it lasts!
