How your 33 week old baby is doing

Your 33 week old baby is now a little explorer. He is exploring objects by shaking them, banging them, playing with them and throwing them. This is the perfect time to get your child an activity center with lots of things that he  can bang, poke,twist , squeeze, shake, drop and open .

Your child will be amazed at toys that have specific functions. As times goes by, he will start using toys  for their intended purpose such as using hair brush to brush his hair, babbling on a play phone and drinking from a cup.

Your life

It is normal for your child to start exhibiting signs of  separation anxiety when you leave him in the care of someone. It may be difficult to see your child in distress but you have to know that this is a normal, healthy sign of development.

These tips will help you deal with separation anxiety

• give your child an affectionate good-bye but do not get emotional about your baby’s crying
• stay away once you say good-bye. Coming back to check on your baby will make things more difficult for you
• for your peace of mind, call and check on your baby when you get to your destination
• spend special time with your child when you get back
