Your baby recognizes your voice and may turn her head in your direction
Growth milestones:
- Your newborn's eyesight is around 20/400 (perfect vision is 20/20), so
things look pretty fuzzy.
- She can just see 30 inches ahead and prefers to focus on objects that are
8-10 inches away, so get up close!
- Hands are mostly clenched in little fists and the grasping reflex makes your
baby hold tight to your fingers.
- Legs are bunched up like they were in the womb.
Responses:
It is pretty much the crying right now. The trick is trying to figure out what she needs. Soon enough, you'll be a pro at knowing a cry from pain to a cry out of hunger and learn to comfort her.
Bonding:
Your baby recognizes your smell and loves hearing your voice, so talk to her, sing songs and if you hear her make a sound join her in a conversation.
