What is the Fourth Trimester?
The fourth trimester is the 12 weeks after baby is born. It's when baby needs the most support as they adjust to being outside of the womb. Their senses and motor skills are still developing, they’re learning how to communicate, they need to feed frequently, and they don’t yet have a sleep routine. This is also the most rapid period of development in baby’s life! Track baby’s developmental milestones with the FREE Pathways.org app. #newbaby #fourthtrimester #babydevelopment #babytips
