Week 28
‘Large eggplant’ Sized baby
Mom, I'm now the size of a large eggplant, and I'm beginning to open my eyes and blink.

Week 28 development milestones
Eggplant-sized now. Your baby's eyes are starting to open and blink — and the third trimester begins this week.
What's Happening This Week
- Can cry & blink Baby can now produce real tears and blink their eyes.
- Brain doubling Baby's brain size will double between now and birth.
- Soft bones All bones are formed but they are still soft.
- 4% body fat Fat layers are starting to fill out baby's skin.
Tip Of The Week
- Start daily kick counting — 10 movements in 2 hours during baby's active time.
- Your baby-to-be's hair can be seen waving in the amniotic fluid.
- This hair is called lanugo.
- Unfortunately, we can't predict how much hair your baby will have because they will lose all lanugo before being born, and it will be replaced with the hair we're used to seeing on infants at birth.

Sleeplessness + restless legs
Light exercise by day, consistent bedtime, warm milk at night.
