Your Baby’s Growth and Milestones at 43 Weeks
Congratulations! Your little one is now 43 weeks old, and this stage is filled with exciting developments! You may be in for a surprise if your baby has been sleeping soundly through the night; they might suddenly decide it’s time for a 3 am wake-up call. Resist the urge to join the “party” because it’s just a clever trick! Instead of indulging in endless snuggles, gently reassure your baby that you’re there for them, then sneak away if you can. If you’re co-sleeping, you’ll need to find a comforting strategy that works best for both of you.
At this age, you might notice some familiar signs of stranger anxiety creeping back in. Don’t worry; this behavior simply indicates your baby’s strong attachment to you. They might express their feelings by giving you the silent treatment when you return, which is just their way of processing emotions and asserting their independence.
As your baby approaches their first birthday, you may feel the pressure to bounce back to your pre-baby self. Keep in mind, though, that everyone’s body is different and has gone through a unique journey. It’s easy to forget this when you see celebrities flaunting their post-baby figures right after giving birth. Remember, your focus should be on health and the incredible things your body can do now that you’re a mom. Embrace your post-pregnancy body, stretch marks, and all!
