Your Baby’s Development at 25 Weeks: Milestones and Insights
Congratulations, your little one is now 25 weeks old! At this stage, it’s perfectly natural for your baby to start forming connections with other adults. As your child develops socially and emotionally, you may notice the early signs of separation anxiety. While some little ones are totally chill when you leave the room (lucky moms, right?), others may have a meltdown just thinking about being apart from you, even for a quick second. If your baby cries hard when you step out, and you’ve checked off other reasons for their tears, you might be dealing with a little one who’s really feeling that bond with you.
Here’s the good news: You can set aside any mom guilt about leaving your baby for a bit. Short separations can actually be healthy for both you and your little one. Not only will you get a breather, but your baby will also learn to connect and trust other adults. As much as you’d love for your child to be a mama’s sweetheart forever, these interactions are crucial for their social and emotional growth. Seriously, it’s a good thing!
At 25 weeks, your baby is also hitting some exciting physical, social, and cognitive milestones. You might see a noticeable increase in their awareness of their surroundings. They’re starting to understand that certain actions, like attempting to leap off the couch or head down the stairs, could lead to bumps and bruises. But don’t get too comfy—supervision is still key! You’ll need to guide them through potential dangers to keep them safe, because trust me, there will be plenty of scrapes and mishaps as they explore the world around them.
