Baby Development
This week, typical development may include: Cruising along furniture, waving, more intentional communication. Every baby follows their own timeline — comparison is the thief of joy.
Milestones
Cruising along furniture, waving, more intentional communication.
Sleep
Most babies are on two naps, moving toward one later in this stretch.
Feeding
Offer varied finger foods and family meals cut safely. Continue breast or formula as your paediatrician advises.
Health & Wellness
Regular well-baby checks, safe sleep practices, and childproofing stay important as mobility grows.
Partner & Family Support
Share night feeds, nappy changes, or a short walk so the primary caregiver can rest.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your paediatrician for fever in a young baby, fewer wet nappies, breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting, or if something feels wrong to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sleep varies enormously in the first year. Short cycles, cluster feeding nights, and growth spurts all shake things up. Track overall mood, feeding, and wet nappies — and ask your doctor if you are worried.
