Development of Babies at 47 Weeks

Development of infants aged 47 weeks

What should be the development of a baby on week 47?

In the third week of the 12th month, babies can:

• Take small objects with your thumb and index finger. As usual, get rid of dangerous objects out of reach of children
• Stand for a moment
• Say "chest" or "mama" at any given moment
• Say other than "mama" or "chest"

Because he is now beginning to understand, this is the time to start teaching babies how to help. Make it a habit to say "please" and "thank you", and make the activity of tidying up toys fun by making them a game. Even though it's possible that he still doesn't understand, it doesn't hurt to start. Divide the task into very small parts.

At this age, he needs you to work with him by his side. You can also help babies make connections between objects and their names - the more you do it, the faster the vocabulary will grow. Keep talking to the baby and label the object. Count each step you go up the stairs, and tell the names and colors of fruits and vegetables on the market. Read a picture book and have the baby show the name of the object he knows. Ask him to argue occasionally. Ask if he wants to wear red or blue socks, or whether he wants to play with cube or overlapping rings. Just give two choices, both of which are correct. He might not answer, but it might surprise you too.

Health for babies aged 47 weeks

What do I need to discuss with the doctor on week 47?

Most doctors don't check babies this month, because babies at this age are not happy to be held during visits. Babies who are afraid of strangers may also not like doctors, even though that includes warm and friendly. Contact your doctor if there are problems that cannot be waited until the next visit.

Caring for babies aged 47 weeks

There are a number of things you should know:

Thumbs up

Baby thumb suckers are using healthy mechanisms and trying to calm themselves. This is a natural way of calming down babies, and is not dangerous. Experts agree that thumb sucking habits do not pose a risk to babies. Some people say that children can even suck their thumbs without affecting teeth until they are 2 years old, and most can do it safely even at 4-5 years of age, when permanent teeth begin to appear.

Sucking

Dot is another good way for babies to calm themselves, but that doesn't mean it's better than sucking a thumb. Babies must rely on you to take back the pacifier if it falls from the box, for example, and the pacifier will disappear or become dirty. On the positive side, babies usually stop themselves using pacifiers. Some babies actually like to suck fingers, and if so, there is no other choice for you - the baby makes the choice.

Which must be considered

What do you need to watch out for when your baby is 47 weeks old?

In the second week of the 12th month, you might be worried about a number of things. One of them is when babies see naked parents. Experts agree that until the preschool year, parental nudity will not affect the child at all. Of course, babies under a year are too young to be affected when they see their mother undressing or bathing together with her father. He was too young to remember a few years later what he had seen. However, it is believed that children aged 3-4 years should not see their parents naked.

If the baby is curious about what he sees and wants to touch pubic hair or pull your nipples, don't ban them. However, babies are usually still more interested in general body parts, such as the nose or ears (although he may be more interested in the private part because he is still covered in clothing). "This is the mother's" is a response that will help the baby begin to understand the concepts of body ownership and privacy, and help keep his private parts closed so they won't feel guilty. This also applies to a baby girl and for her it won't be a problem seeing her father naked.
