Your 22-Week-Old Baby’s Development and Milestones
Congratulations! Your little one is now 22 weeks old! Don’t stress too much about milestones, Mama!
At this age, many babies start to explore their surroundings, whether that’s scooting across the floor or rolling during tummy time. If your baby is already crawling, keep an eye on what’s within reach. Babies love to explore with their mouths, often choosing anything but the food you want them to eat—because why would they actually go for the real stuff?
Your 22-Week-Old Baby’s Growth and Development Milestones
Not seeing any movement from your little one yet? No worries! Developmental milestones are just guidelines, and some babies may not show interest in crawling for a couple more months. Plus, just think of the upside: once they become mobile, your life will never be the same.
Your Baby’s Physical, Social, and Cognitive Milestones
Your baby’s brain is developing rapidly. They can now distinguish between living beings (like you and the family dog) and inanimate objects (like their toys, or that one relative who seems glued to the couch). They understand that living things can move on their own, while inanimate objects need a little help—especially from you!
Now is the perfect time to revisit baby-proofing your home, especially if you want to keep them away from safety hazards and your personal items. A good starting point? Check out your bedside drawer.
