More and more your baby looks like a newborn. The skin, which until now was wrinkled, is starting to smooth out due to the fat he is storing and muscle tissue build-up. Both the nails on his hands and toes are completely formed and keep growing. It’s common to have to cut them as soon as your baby is born so that he doesn’t scratch his face. 

His ability to hear is very developed and perhaps you might notice that, when he is moving, if there is a noise on the outside, music or even your own voice talking to him, your baby stops moving for a short moment to pay attention to those sounds. In addition, since the development of the eye is almost finished, he increasingly becomes more sensitive to changes of light and it won’t take long for him to even follow intermittent lights with his eyes.

Your baby measures now over 15 inches or 38 centimeters and a half and weighs about three pounds or a bit over a kilogram and 300 grams.
