Babies love all kinds of books: bath books, pop-up books, animal books, board books, cloth books, textured books, squeaky books, and shiny books.

They can enjoy these books almost anywhereโ€”whether in the park, on a chair, on the floor, in a pram, in the bath, or at the library.

You can even read a magazine, the newspaper, or look at a holiday brochure together.

Your baby will cherish the time spent snuggling with you. The sound of your voice, combined with the closeness and warmth, makes reading a truly special experience.

๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’› Let Those Tiny Toes Go Barefoot! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›

Did you know that any opportunity for your baby to go barefoot is great for the growth and development of strong, healthy feet? ๐Ÿฆถโœจ

Walking barefoot helps build arches, strengthens ankles, and encourages muscles to work harder. Itโ€™s completely normal for your babyโ€™s feet to appear flat-footed at this stageโ€”the layer of fat that fills out the arches usually disappears by the end of toddlerhood.

Experts agree that your baby's feet develop best when left barefoot for as long as possible. So, let those little toes wiggle and explore the world around them! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›

Babies absolutely love making music, and the bells will certainly add an extra layer of joy to their musical playtime!

Letโ€™s get those little hands ringing and enjoy the magic of music together! ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ””๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›

Once Acceptable Things That Are Now Very Inappropriate 29/05/2024

What things were ok as a child, that have changed now? I had to explain to my Grandmother that we sleep babies on their backs now, and no a teaspoon of sugar a day is not good nutritional advice ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคฃ

Once Acceptable Things That Are Now Very Inappropriate As time changes, customs also change. Things that people once did routinely are now frowned upon. Itโ€™s not necessarily that they were misbehaving before; they were following the rules of society for โ€ฆ

Babies show a natural fascination with mirrors, typically starting around 4 months of age. At this stage, your baby may begin to smile or show interest when presented with their own reflection. Placing a mirror in front of your baby allows them to see their own face and explore this newfound discovery.

While babies may not fully comprehend that the image they see is their own reflection until they're older, around 18 to 24 months, there are ways to encourage self-awareness. One method is to point to their reflection and say their name, providing verbal reinforcement. Over time, this can help them make connections between the image in the mirror and their own identity, fostering a sense of self-awareness.
