Development of Babies at 43 Weeks

Development of Infants Aged 43 Weeks

What should be the development of a baby on week 43?

The baby may be able to walk if you hold his hand, and even can stretch his arm or leg while wearing clothes. At mealtime, babies may be able to drink with their own glasses (although some children may not do well for the next few months or even 1 or 2 years) and eat with their own hands.

In the third week of the 11th month, babies are usually able to:

• Stand alone and stand still without holding on
• Say "chest" or "mama"
• Showing something he wants

Babies will intentionally drop objects so someone, maybe you, takes them. If you are bored with the game of dropping this item, take the object for a few minutes and try to divert the attention of the baby with something that is equally interesting, for example the game cilukba.

Baby's Health Ages 43 Weeks

What do I need to discuss with the doctor on week 43?

Most doctors don't check babies this month. Contact your doctor if there are problems that cannot be waited until the next visit.

Caring for babies aged 43 weeks

At this time, the baby may catch the flu. But be careful when using antibiotics. Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria, and in no way help fight viruses that cause flu, and many types of respiratory diseases. So, if the baby has one of these conditions, antibiotics cannot help. Do not give baby antibiotics because antibiotics can make bacteria more resistant to treatment, which can be problematic if the baby needs drugs that can fight bacteria. In addition, antibiotics have their own risks, which can cause side effects or even serious allergic reactions.

When to give antibiotics?

Give antibiotics only according to the pediatrician's instructions. It is important to spend antibiotics according to your doctor's prescription. Stopping treatment too early will not be able to cure the disease completely and can actually cause more serious health problems.

How to provide antibiotics more easily?

If the baby vomits right after taking antibiotics and most drugs come out of his mouth, you can give one more dose to replace the dose. But do not give this additional dose if the baby vomits after an hour. After an hour usually most of the drugs have been absorbed, and giving other doses can cause overdose side effects. You should try to find the cause of the baby's vomiting, is it because the baby is choking or sick?

Some drugs can be mixed into foods such as applesauce to make the medicine taste better. In other cases, drops or syringes that inject drugs into the baby's throat are more effective than using a spoon. Local pharmacists may also be able to add special taste to certain drugs to be able to be drunk more by the baby.

Which must be considered

What do you need to watch out for when your baby is 43 weeks old?

You might be worried about various problems in the 43rd week:

Grit teeth

Just like banging your head, rolling / pulling your hair, or sucking your fingers, cracking your teeth is often a way to relieve stress for some babies. Gritting teeth can affect the growth of milk teeth and permanent teeth. There are two kinds of causes: tension and curiosity.

Giving a lot of love and attention before napping or sleeping at night can also reduce the frequency of gnashing of teeth by helping the baby rest. In most cases, this habit will disappear with increasing baby's ability to deal with problems, and before tooth decay occurs.

Tension is not always the cause of tooth snapping. Sometimes, babies accidentally find ways to experiment with their new teeth, enjoy their sensations and sounds, and make it a habit. However, not long after, the pleasant sensation will disappear and the baby will no longer be attracted to the orchestra from his teeth.

If you find that baby teeth are becoming more frequent and not disappearing, and you are worried that he might start damaging his teeth, consult a pediatrician or dentist.

Bite

It is natural for babies to test their teeth on each surface. Biting can be a bad habit and, the more teeth, become more painful for the "victim".

Biting was initially fun and experimental; the baby doesn't know that it will hurt anyone. However, human reactions cause interesting causes and effects. The baby considers the expression on the face of the mother when she bit her shoulder, and your face that looks surprised and the shout "Ouch!" From the father is funny, and "Don't bite, hurt!" Strangely, angry rebuke "Ouch!" Or can firmly support his habit, because babies consider it entertaining or as a challenge to be more independent, or even both.

The most effective way to respond is to keep the baby calmly from where he bit, sternly saying "Don't bite". Then, quickly turn your attention by singing, giving toys, or other ways. Do this every time the baby bites and he will understand the message. If you bite back, it will become more problematic; not only because it is cruel, but also because there are vague implications that you must play fairly with it.
