Baby Health
Children’s health is a major concern to any parent, but the health radar goes into overdrive when your child is still a baby. How do you know everything is okay when your child can’t yet tell you?
From feeding and burping to holding their head up, everything in a baby’s first few years is measured with scientific markers, or milestones. These milestones are guidelines provided by doctors to help parents ensure their child is developing on schedule - how scientific!
The problem is, parenting isn’t always a science, and for most parents, these markers can cause even more confusion, and sometimes panic. But the trick is to remember that every child is different, and that each will develop at their own pace. The markers, as well thought out as they are, are there to be used as guidelines only.
In our baby section, our goal is to give you a feel for these guidelines and all things related to your baby’s health and to get you prepared for what you can expect - but also to help you understand that parenting is about learning as you go and using your instincts. Pay attention to your baby’s health and development, make frequent doctor’s visits and follow your heart, and you can rest assured that your child’s health is in good hands.
