Newborn Baby's 28th Week(7 month): The eyesight of a newborn baby is about 8–10 inches

During 28th week your baby will continue to sound as she/he learns how to use his/her tongue, as well as how to shape his/her mouth to create and change sounds. Some of those loud outbreaks are nothing more than an experiment to see how far he/she can project his/her voice. Your baby now has enough coordination to be able to pass a toy from one hand to the other. This also means he/she may be ready to start feeding herself(him), so try some soft finger foods such as ripe fruit or Cheerios.

Your baby is concentrating on fine-tuning his/her fine-motor skills; the games that he/she'll enjoy the most will be open-ended play. One of the best toys you can buy at this age is a set of stacking cups. They're extremely cheap and you'll be surprised at how many different games you can play with them. Try floating them in the bath or filling them with water and watching them sink.

28th week of babies may be able to pull them up to a standing position. A 7-month-old baby boy, on average, will weigh in at 8.16 kg and the average baby girl will weigh about 7.71kg. The boys in the 50th percentile for height will top the charts at 27 inches "tall." A 7-month-old average baby girl will measure up to 26½ inches. Your baby will enjoy playing for longer periods of time. 

The hands of the baby will be clenched. The arms and legs will appear tucked in. It wil take some time for the muscles of the baby’s hands and legs to become relax. The baby will follow his/her instinct. You can talk to the baby so that he/she can recognize your voice. If you touch the corner of your baby’s mouth, he/she will turn towards you. You can do this to help the baby find his/her way onto your nipple during the feeding time. Your baby will be able to recognize the smell of the milk from the breasts.

If your baby is breastfed, his/her stool will be loose and yellow in color. If you are feeding your baby with a milk formula, the stool will be yellow or brown in color. The stool of a baby fed with milk formula will be firmer. A newborn may have bowel movements once or several times a day. The eyesight of a newborn baby is about 8–10 inches. This distance is about the same distance between your face and his/her eyes. The baby’s eyesight will improve in the upcoming weeks.
