Loading ...4 Weeks old Baby
What a difference a month makes! Your baby has lost his newborn appearance and can even hold up his head for a minute or two. He’s beginning to discover his own body, especially the hands, which fascinate him as he moves them about.
As a general rule, motor development proceeds from head to toe. The first milestone to be reached is control of the head, followed by the body, the arms, the torso, and the legs. At this point, most of your baby’s responses are still reflexive; for instance, his hands are held in a tight fist, and he’ll reflexively grasp anything put into his palm. This will change in the next month or two, when movements start to become voluntary.
