Baby Development – Practical Advice For Parents From Parents
Welcome to All About Baby Development. When you arrive here, chances are you are about to have a child or you recently had one. Congratulations!
The following video is our daughter giving birth to her first child, a son. This baby birth video was a special occasion, as you can see from the many friends and family who were present. It is exciting that we are now grandparents!
Having a child is one of the most wonderful experiences you will ever have in life – and, sometimes, one of the hardest. These are exciting times. You and your baby are in this together as you grow, bond and change over the coming months and years.
During this time, babies (and parents) need a lot of special attention and care, and I know you will have lots of questions about raising and educating your child. Just to mention a few...
What You Need To Know
How do I choose the best food for my baby’s development?
How does my baby’s brain develop and how can I keep her stimulated?
What should I eat during pregnancy? (This is important, because you’re eating for two!)
What are some signs of teething, and how can I make my baby more comfortable?
How do I teach my boy or girl important skills?
When should I start potty training and how?
We started this site to help you answer these and many other questions. Here you will learn about the stages of baby development, from pregnancy to infancy to toddlerhood. You will also find lots of great tips and advice on fun activities to help your kid develop and grow.
Babies grow fast and reach new milestones every month – whether mental, physical or social.
Here you will get the parents perspective, because that's what we are: parents sharing our experience with fellow parents.
Though you will find some well researched medical information here, whenever relevant, we are not doctors or specialists. If you ever need medical attention, please consult your doctor.
There's also a lot of fun stuff we want to help you with. Need ideas for your baby shower? Searching for that perfect toy or gift for your (grand)child? What are today's most popular baby names? This site is the place for everything you need to know about babies and young children!
By the way, feel free to share YOUR experience with baby development or send a cute picture of your child. Your involvement will make this site even more helpful for everyone.
Before we invite you to start browsing, please remember that every baby is unique. Some learn fast, some need more time.
Don't worry too much if your neighbor's child masters certain skills faster than yours. There are different rates of development. However, if you are concerned about the way your son or daughter develops, you should not hesitate to consult your doctor or pediatrician.
