Your baby says
This week, they say, a thin cover is being pulled over me. Not a blanket, but something like one.
What may be happening this week
During this period, a creamy protective layer may begin to form over the skin. The amount of this layer can change up to birth and differs from baby to baby.
A note for you
For the mother, this week may bring nights of searching for a new sleeping position. For the father or partner, a small help like arranging a pillow can make this week a little lighter.
A thin coat, a short note. That's enough for this week.
Sizes are averages and every baby grows at their own pace. This page is general information, not medical advice.
