Your baby’s personality is developing. If they seem shy or sensitive, they may need extra attention to come out of their shell, and may be easily overwhelmed.
Remove mobiles from your baby’s crib as soon as they can grab and hold them. They might pull one down on top of them.
Engage your baby’s interest in new things by taking them on walks and finding exciting items they haven’t seen before. Name each new thing they see.
Play "mirror" games to encourage their ever-growing interest in their surroundings and help them learn that the wonderful person in the mirror is them!
If your baby doesn’t show much interest in looking at new things, it’s a good idea to check in with your pediatrician.
Do not put a baby younger than 1 on any kind of cow’s or regular milk. They need either breast milk or formula until age 1.
Don’t weaken or dilute the formula by adding more water than the label recommends. That can interfere with your baby’s growth and health.
If your baby shows an interest in your foods at mealtime, talk to your pediatrician at the next checkup about starting them on solids.
