Wow, can you believe your little one is already 33 weeks old? Time flies when you’re in the thick of parenthood! At this stage, you might notice your baby forming attachments to certain toys, blankets, or even stuffed animals. It’s essential to keep track of these beloved items, especially when heading out. And hey, consider grabbing a backup “lovey” just in case!
Your baby might also be particularly fond of you—especially during breastfeeding—which can make finding a moment for yourself feel impossible. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, followed by a mix of breastfeeding and solid foods throughout the first year. However, every mom’s journey is unique, and if you find that formula works better for you, that’s perfectly okay. The most important thing is that you’re taking care of your baby, and you’re doing GREAT!
As your little one becomes more mobile, don’t forget to lower the crib mattress! You definitely don’t want to wake up to the sound of your little ninja trying to climb out at night. Make sure to consult the instructions for adjusting the mattress—most crib manufacturers include this info right on the mattress board. And hey, if you’re not sure, a quick online search or call to the manufacturer can help you out. You want to ensure the crib is safe and secure for your baby!
