Tips on Parenting

2. Never use adult strength medications on your baby unless your pediatrician advises it.
3. Periodically check your baby's toys for loose parts or damage. Throw away any broken toys.
4. Take a big jug of water on trips to mix with formula so that it always tastes the same.

Key Tip of the Month . . .
Honey should not be fed to infants under one year of age. Honey is a safe and wholesome food for children and adults. Honey may contain bacterial spores that can cause infant botulism - a rare but serious disease that affects the nervous system of young babies (under one year of age).

How An Infant Begins To Learn
• Grabbing its feet • Playing with its hands • Rolling around in bed • Gurgling • Blowing bubbles • Grabbing at an object • Pushing something around in the crib • Rolling over • Listening to the sound of your voice • Watching you play finger games • Listening as you read stories or sing lullabies • Being with you as you do something new each day • Cuddling • Watching from their swing as you work or watching a shiny object or listen to a wind chime

All these things help an infant begin to learn about its world
