Feeding
Your baby’s feeding schedule will be one of the most important aspects of their development at this stage. Your baby should be feeding every 2-3 hours, and they may start to show signs of hunger by rooting, sucking on their hands or smacking their lips. If your baby is formula fed, they may consume around 2-3 ounces per feeding. If you are breastfeeding, your baby should be consuming around 8-12 feedings per day.

Your baby will sleep for most of the day at this stage, with only brief periods of wakefulness. They may also start to develop more of a sleep routine, with longer periods of sleep at night. At this age, your baby may sleep for 14-17 hours a day, broken up into 2-3 hour stretches.
Motor Skills
At 25 days old, your baby’s motor skills are still developing. They may start to display more control over their head movement and have better hand-eye coordination. Some babies may also start to push up and lift their head while lying on their stomachs.
Communication
Although your baby is still too young to speak, they may start to communicate more non-verbally. They may start to make more eye contact and follow objects with their eyes. Your baby may also start to make more sounds, such as cooing and gurgling.
Socialization
At this age, your baby will start to recognize familiar faces and voices. They may also start to smile more and show more interest in their surroundings. Remember to talk to your baby often and provide plenty of stimulation for them to help with their socialization and overall development.
