Your baby says
I may be trying to part my eyelids. I don't really know what's around me yet.
What may be happening this week
Around these weeks, the eyelids may begin to open. The eyes keep developing their function for a long time after birth as well.
A note for you
For the mother, short breaks during the day may feel good this week. For the father or partner, quietly taking on one of the household chores says a lot without many words.
Eyelids parting, the note staying short. That's it for this week.
Sizes are averages and every baby grows at their own pace. This page is general information, not medical advice.
