Your 50-Week-Old Baby’s Growth and Milestones
Congratulations! You now have a 50-week-old baby on your hands!
At this stage, your little one is likely eager to explore the world of self-feeding, whether it’s with fingers or a spoon. Sure, it gets messy, but that’s part of the fun! Make sure to introduce a variety of flavors and textures, including meats, cheeses, and yogurt. Allowing your baby to decide when they’re full can help them develop healthy eating habits down the line—thanks for the wisdom, Mom!
By now, you might have made the transition from a bottle to a sippy cup. If you haven’t yet, it’s a great time to start! Your baby will enjoy the feeling of being a big kid, even if it tugs at your heartstrings a bit. Change is happening, whether you’re prepared for it or not!
Physical, Social, and Cognitive Developments at 50 Weeks
You might notice your baby becoming a bit more clingy around this age. Funny how they seem to sense the exact moments you’re busy, like when you’re in the thick of dinner prep and they suddenly demand your attention! One way to keep your little one entertained is to let her “help” in the kitchen. You can sit her in a highchair with a brush to “clean” a vegetable or allow her to “organize” the tupperware drawer. Get creative and invent little games to keep her engaged. Luckily, babies at this age are still quite gullible!

In summary, your 50-week-old baby is growing rapidly, exploring self-feeding, and becoming more socially aware. Embrace this delightful chaos—it’s all part of the journey!
