The baby is now 37cm long from head to toe (14.8 inches) and weighs about 1,100 grams (2lb 7 oz).
The baby is now developing their immune system, as natural antibodies pass from my blood stream to them through the placenta. The baby is now capable of coordinating a suck and swallow action, needed to drink milk after being born. However, this reflex does not fully mature until about 34 to 36 weeks. The baby may look around and is capable of distinguishing light from dark and tracking movement.
