Week 12 - Your New Baby
This week you may notice that your baby spends a great deal more time watching what’s going on around him and also a great deal of time watching his hands. Much of the reflexes that were responsible for holding the hands in fists are now easing. Hands become very interesting at this stage, and between watching them and sucking on them, hands will keep him busy for a long while. Hands are used a lot for comfort and helping baby cope and calm down. You may see your baby sucking on his hands much more often in the next couple months. Most infants stop sucking on their hands when their motor skills improve and they can manipulate other items into their mouths using their hands. Just expect everything your baby picks up to go straight into his mouth for the next several months.
