Product Information

Toddlers often go through sleep regressions at around 15 months, 18 months, 2 yearsand 3 yearsthat may be caused by nightmaresand night terrors, fear of the dark, toddler teething andseparation anxiety. Tips for managing sleep regressions in your baby With his burgeoning communication skills ripe for the learning, now's a good time to begin teaching him some simple sign language. To help him make the leap, start with a lightweight, unbreakable plastic cup. You may need to try a few different shapes, sizes and styles before you hit on the one he likes best.

Having a study buddy can make the semester and first year of nursing school less daunting. A buddy provides: Does your baby seem to shower affection on a favorite stuffed animal or doll? At 6 months, babies can be surprisingly social ( stranger anxiety has yet to develop) and delightfully generous with smiles, giggles, shrieks and squeaks. And toys like these are just right for boosting those emerging social skills. Free feedings, free delivery. The best things in life are free, and that includes breast milk and breast milk delivery. On the other hand, bottle-feeding (once you factor in formula, bottles, nipples, and cleaning supplies) can be a pretty pricey proposition. There’s no waste with breastfeeding, either—what baby doesn’t end up drinking at one feed will stay fresh for the next. Eat a gas-conscious diet. Skip hard-to-digest foods for now (nothing fried, no beans, no cabbage), and avoid overeating or eating on the run.In brain-related news, your baby is ready for more complex shapes (bye-bye circles, hello zigzags!) as vision, the ability to focus, and concentration improve rapidly. She may really love gazing at a mobile or a soft toy you hold up close enough so she can see it. On the feeding horizon, too, will be starting the process of weaning your little one from the bottle if he takes one. Experts agree that weaning from the bottle by around 12 months — or as soon as possible after the first birthday (and by 18 months at the latest unless otherwise advised by the pediatrician) — is best for your baby. Keeping those kinds of variations in mind, here’s what your baby may be doing during each three-month stage of the first year. Baby Development: One to Three Months Some babies may say their first word at eight months, while others don’t talk until a little after the one-year mark. And walking may start anytime between nine and 18 months. Don't be surprised if this shift results in some major meltdowns, especially during transition times — like when you walk in the door from work or when it’s bedtime.

Oh, that's right!", came my reply, followed by a nervous laugh. Now staring at the honey, my face flushed and my nervous smile turned to a look of dread. ‘Whoa, honey can kill a baby?’ I thought. Labor and delivery, as you might have noticed, are really rough on your body — especially "down there." Your perineum muscles and nerves may be stretched or damaged, making it difficult for you to control how and when digested food leaves your body. Sleep regression is a period of time, usually about two to four weeks, when a baby who’s sleeping well suddenly has trouble settling down for sleep or wakes up fussing in the middle of the night. What causes sleep regression in babies and why does it happen? Lauren Crosby, M.D., Pediatrician, La Peer Pediatrics, Los Angeles, CA, and Member of the What to Expect Medical Review Board.

This table shows common developmental milestones that babies reach each month during their first year, in four major categories. Keep in mind that all babies are different and every baby grows at their own pace. There's no precise time that most of these skills first appear. If your child hasn’t reached a milestone by the month it is listed on this chart, it is usually a perfectly normal variation in child development. Watch for progress, not deadlines. But there are a few periods when sleep regression is relatively foreseeable, due to growth spurts, teething or reaching new milestones:
