A major milestone and one that every parent awaits is teething. One day you might suddenly notice your baby being fussy and cranky and you might be wiping drool off their face all day. Then, out of nowhere, you will see a white line on their gums. Their first tooth has erupted and teething has officially begun! Just like crawling, first words, and talking, teething is a major milestone and comes with its own set of challenges. This new milestone

Seeing your baby’s movements in the crib shouldn’t be a cause of concern. Babies are restless sleepers and spend their nights constantly tossing and turning in their sleep. Babies learn to roll over at four months of age. While mere rolling over is a developmental milestone, you have to ensure your baby is sleeping safely and not having a sleep disorder either.

Newborn babies are a delight: they teach you new things and give you a whole new perspective on life. But they are also very peculiar and every baby has their quirks; it can sometimes make you wonder what they are doing exactly. One such thing that some parents notice is their little one leaning to one side. Tilting the head to one side when they are sleeping, lying down, or being held can mean a few different things. Two of

Your baby doesn’t let you have any respite, does he? As a parent, you try to do everything right, but when you notice that your baby is chewing his/her tongue, it may seem as if it is because of your negligence somehow, or perhaps something is wrong. There is no manual for raising kids the right way, and there certainly is no popular advice about that. You google the situation, and instantly, you find out it is one of the

Beginning the teething process is a big milestone in the life of a baby and a parent so it is natural to feel curious about it. Interestingly, there are some predictors which can indicate the start of the teething process. While the action of a baby sucking the bottom lip in itself might seem cute and can even be seen as typical behavior, babies sometimes do this for a specific reason. There are several reasons behind a baby sucking the

Before your baby enters the world, all you can think about is holding your precious little bundle of joy. You dream about kissing their delicate skin and baby’s hands and feet. You may even argue with your partner on who’s genes the baby would take. Then once the baby comes into the world, you promise yourself that your baby will never be put in harm’s way. So, if you see scratches on the baby’s face, and that too, from their

You may be too tired to even read clearly. Of course, after pulling an all-nighter, nobody can stay sane! While your baby has gone to sleep for now, you know very well you will not have any respite at night. You have dressed him, swaddled him, and fed him, but the baby won’t go back to sleep after the 2 am feed. You, my friend, need help. Babies have a very complex sleep schedule. They may wake up in the

Babies are bundles of cuteness, but they are also very unpredictable. One moment they are all calm and cute and smiling, and the next moment they are fidgety, cranky, and crying. If you are a new mom, we are sure you are calling the pediatrician every time your baby does something weird or you notice strange behavior. It’s normal to get anxious. While most of the time these strange behaviors are nothing, sometimes there are reasons why babies behave in

Bathing your little one can boost bonding and love. More often than not, your baby will calm down when she feels your body against her. Another advantage of bathing with your child is the sense of well-being. It is a time-saver and can keep the baby from swallowing bath water or dry drowning. Bath time should be fun, but it could worry parents dealing with newborns swallowing bath water. It is natural for babies or young kids to panic when

Healthy baby growth is what every new parent ever wishes for and seeing your baby crawl is one of the biggest milestones. But when you are talking about developmental milestones, there is no hard script and there are things that go off the popular norms. While babies develop at their unique pace, they often become accustomed to asymmetrical crawling and this may cause a lot of distress to the parents. The first thing that you need to understand is that
