No tears just yet
Heard that babies cry a lot? There's definitely truth to that rumor — as you'll find out soon enough, usually in the middle of the night.
But what you may not have heard is that tiny babies don't produce tiny tears when they cry, since their tear ducts aren't fully open for business yet. While you'll be consoling your crying baby right from the get-go, it won't be until sometime after the first month that you'll be wiping tears off those chubby cheeks.
Baby's skin is white
Your baby's skin has now finally changed from pink-tinted to white, no matter what its eventual color will be. (Pigmentation will occur soon after birth.) That's because a thicker fat layer has been deposited over the blood vessels, making your baby's cheeks pinchably and kissably round.
The Mutlu Anne app is with you every step of the way on your pregnancy journey.

This Week's Highlights

Big baby brain
While your baby’s body isn’t growing as much, his brain is. It’s already 30% bigger than it was just four weeks ago.

Pink skin turns white
Your baby’s pinkish skin has turned whitish or whitish-grayish and won’t have pigment, no matter what his eventual skin color will be, until shortly after birth.

Baby's at his birth weight!
Your baby has likely reached his birth weight of somewhere between 6 and 9 pounds, about a third of which is accounted for by his head.
