Gross Motor Skills
Your baby’s muscles are starting to get stronger and they are developing more control over their movements. At 14 weeks, your baby will start to develop better head control and may even start rolling over from tummy to back. Don’t worry if your baby hasn’t rolled over yet, every baby develops differently.
Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor skills are the smaller movements that your baby makes, like grabbing onto toys or holding onto a bottle. At 14 weeks, your baby’s hand-eye coordination is improving and they will start to reach for and grab onto objects. They may even start to put objects in their mouth.
Language Development
At 14 weeks, your baby is starting to become more vocal and may even start to laugh and make different sounds like “cooing” or “ga-ga”. They will also start to recognize your voice and may turn their head when they hear you talking.
Cognitive Development
Cognitive development refers to your baby’s mental processes, like thinking, problem-solving, and memory. At 14 weeks, your baby’s brain is rapidly developing and they are starting to recognize familiar faces and objects. They may even start to show signs of separation anxiety when you leave the room.
Social Development
At 14 weeks, your baby is starting to become more social and may even start to engage in “conversation” with you, using eye contact and smiles. They will also start to recognize the people around them and may even start to become shy or anxious around strangers.
Nutrition
At 14 weeks, your baby’s nutritional needs are changing. They will start to drink more milk or formula at each feeding and may even start to sleep for longer stretches at night. Make sure to talk to your pediatrician about your baby’s specific nutritional needs.
