Your Baby this Week

By Priyadarshika Ingle | Updated: 20/11/2020

Your baby is growing stronger and stronger each and every day. He will now be able to lift his head, chest, and shoulders off the ground when he’s on his stomach. He can push himself up with his arms while lying on his stomach. He won’t crawl until at least 6 months, but these pre-crawling motions are his way of developing the necessary. Wear a nursing bra with flaps that you can open with one hand while holding your baby with the other. Wear a nursing cover or shawl, or use the baby blanket to cover your chest and midriff, while your baby is feeding, if you would like to have the extra coverage.
