Congratulations! Your little one is now 33 weeks old, which means she’s nearly three-quarters of the way through her first year. Time flies, doesn’t it? At this stage, you might notice her forming attachments to specific toys, blankets, or even stuffed animals. It’s essential to keep track of these beloved items, especially when heading out—because losing her “lovey” can lead to an epic meltdown! Consider investing in a backup just in case.
Key Developmental Milestones
As your baby grows, you may find that her favorite source of comfort is you—particularly during breastfeeding. While the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, many moms, like Emma, opt for formula later on. No matter your choice, what matters most is that you’re nurturing and feeding your baby. You’re doing an amazing job!
Physical, Social, and Cognitive Growth
With increased mobility, it’s time to lower the crib mattress. You definitely want to avoid waking up to the sound of your little explorer tumbling out of bed in the middle of the night! Check the instructions for adjusting the mattress height—most crib manufacturers include guidance on the mattress board itself. If you can’t find it, a quick online search or a call to the manufacturer should do the trick. Safety first!
