Baby Bear is about the size of a large banana. She is now able to swallow at least several ounces of amniotic fluid each day — not only for hydration and nutrition, but also to practice swallowing and digesting. The taste of the amniotic fluid differs from day to day depending on what I eat. She has developed taste buds. So it is actually a good thing for me to eat different things so that she can be exposed to different tastes. In fact, researchers have noted that babies who were exposed to certain tastes in utero via the amniotic fluid were more eager to eat foods with that same taste after birth.
Baby Bear is a very active girl doing acrobats and somersaults. But she is still getting a lot of sleep, she sleeps about 12 to 14 hours per day!
