47 Week Old Baby Development

47 Week Old Baby Milestones 👶

Around this time you may find yourself really needing to set limits with your little one. Her cognitive development is taking her on a path of problem solving, exploration, and an overall need to figure out the world around her. With the world as her oyster, the boundaries can seem limitless. But that’s where you step in, mama.

It’s important to allow our children to explore and figure things out (in safe and appropriate ways). But it’s also important to remember that setting limits is just as important, and can actually help our little ones learn in a more effective way. Limits help baby:

• Feel safe: That’s right! Knowing and understanding the limits and boundaries are so important in helping her feel safe and confident that someone is watching out for her.
• Deal with uncomfortable feelings: When parents avoid setting limits to dodge the more negative feelings and emotions that come with doing so, it can hinder a child’s ability to understand why and how to deal with the more uncomfortable emotions in life.
• Builds healthy self-discipline skills: When children are presented with limits, they better understand what it expected of them and can one day grow to learn self-discipline.

While setting limits can be met with some more harsh reactions of frustration and anger, it’s important to remember what a vital role they play in early childhood. Setting limits early on can help pave the way for better learning and coping skills later in life!
