The Wonder Weeks, Leap 2

WARNING: In The Wonder Weeks, full version, all ten leaps are described. This chapter book only describes the second leap.
The Wonder Weeks Fussy and Wonder Week 8, Leap 2. How to stimulate your baby's mental development and help him turn this predictable, great, fussy phases into a magical leap forward, describes in easy-to-understand terms the incredible developmental changes that all babies go through 8 weeks after the due date.
The book is based on the discovery of the phenomenon that all normal, healthy babies appear to be more tearful, troublesome, demanding and clingy at very nearly the same ages.

A worldwide bestseller and sanity savior for parents around the globe.

@8 Weeks (Leap of “Patterns”): The World is not a “Soup” Anymore
After having made this leap, the baby doesn’t experience the world as a single, undividable entity anymore (like a bowl of soup, where everything blends together) and begins to differentiate regular patterns. For example: he discovers his hands. He looks surprised and turns them around. Many of the baby’s automatic reflexes disappear, and he begins to do things purposefully. All the movements your baby makes still look very stiff to the outside world, as if he was a Pinocchio, a puppet on a string.

Note: Most babies make this leap 8 weeks after the due date. However, some babies make the leap one week sooner, some one week later.
