Now that your baby is 2 months and 2 weeks old, you have become well accustomed to the varying needs of your bundle of joy. However, thinking that parenting might become easier now is a far-fetched dream. The baby is developing fast now and needs attention to ensure proper physical and mental development. The following section illustrates the milestones of a 10 week old baby:

Baby milestones at 10th week:

• A 10 week old is expected to be quite active in using her legs now, and can be seen continually kicking in air. The baby can now roll from her back to her side and the reverse too, but complete rolling is still difficult for the baby. As the muscles strengthen themselves in the coming weeks, the baby will be able to roll completely.
• Drooling continues even this week. The 10 week old produce a lot more saliva than what they can swallow, which results in drooling.
• Mothers may observe that the baby now feeds on more milk and the sucking pattern is stronger and more regular than ever before.
• The baby is active for longer durations and can also sleep for longer hours at a stretch. Rather than having brief naps all through the day, she will have three or more long naps and stay awake the rest of time.
• There is news on the vision and hearing front too. The baby now begins to recognize the voice of close ones and she is startled by different sounds. Also, she is attracted by new colors, shapes and designs. Babies can be observed to play with her feet and hands for hours at a stretch.
• Babies this age try to imitate every action. They even talk back to the parents by cooing and babbling. This is an exciting time to play with your child and also make her learn new actions. The baby smiles reflexively at the sight of loved ones and imitates their facial expressions.
  
  

• At this stage, all efforts should be made to communicate with the baby, which will aid in faster development. The baby looks for new ways to communicate which must be encouraged by talking back, telling stories or rhymes. By this time, you should start with the age-old tradition of story books, and show the child around the house often to let her explore new objects, patterns, colors and shapes.
• As the baby has begun to roll over on her side, she must not be left unattended. The bed and crib must be safe to avoid accidents. Also, give the baby a safe area to strengthen her muscles by practicing such rolling skills.
