Baby Development: 3 Months Old

Your 3 month old baby Your baby's development during month 3 is really fantastic. Your baby will almost start to seem "human" as he/she begins to react and interact with you and your family, as well as his/her strength developing, giving baby a little more movement on his/her own.

Another nice thing about month 3 is the fact that baby may begin to sleep through at night, giving you a full nights sleep, even though he/she may be awake any time from 5am!

There is nothing better than the sound of your baby laughing as the two of you play together, and during the early stages of this month you may begin to experience this.

Tummy Time Tactics
So what is this "tummy time" that everyone is always talking about? Quite simply, it is an important part of a babies development and a special time that a baby needs to spend laying on their tummies.

Group B Strep Swab
There are many different tests you will have to do during pregnancy and one that is given routinely is called a Group B Streptococcus swab. This test is very important and should not be taken lightly.
