Physical Development
By 14 weeks, your baby boy is starting to show more control over his movements. He can now lift his head and chest with ease when lying on his stomach, and he may try to roll over from his stomach to his back. His arms and legs are getting stronger too, and he can move them with more purpose.
Sensory Development
Your baby boy is becoming more aware of his surroundings and is learning to use his senses to explore the world. He can now track moving objects with his eyes, and he may start to reach out and grab things that are within his reach. He is also starting to recognize familiar faces and may respond with a smile or coo.
Language Development
At 14 weeks, your baby boy is starting to make more sounds and may even begin to mimic some of the sounds that he hears. He may also start to babble and coo, which are the first steps towards developing language. Keep talking to him and responding to his noises, as this will help him learn to communicate.
Sleep Development
Most 14-week-old baby boys are starting to settle into a more predictable sleep pattern. Your baby may sleep for longer stretches at night and take shorter naps during the day. However, every baby is different, so don’t worry if your little one is still waking frequently at night.
Feeding Development
Your baby boy is likely still feeding every 2-3 hours, but he may be starting to take slightly larger feeds as his stomach capacity increases. Breast milk or formula is still the main source of nutrition, but you may start to introduce solid foods around 6 months.In summary, your 14-week-old baby boy is making great progress in his physical, sensory, language, sleep, and feeding development. Keep stimulating his senses, talking to him, and providing plenty of love and care.Frequently Asked Questions:
