Language Development

• The slew of words your baby has been hearing since birth is beginning to work its magic.
• His/her babbling is probably starting to sound more like real words, phrases, and sentences.
• While these improving language skills are praise-worthy, they're nothing compared to how much your baby can understand!
• He/she has probably already grasped the names of their favourite people and objects and is likely to get the gist of simple questions, too.
• Ask him/her if they want to go out in a buggy and watch their face to see if they're pleased.
• Try to avoid asking him/her if they want to do something that they have to do, though, such as going to bed.
• He/she may become confused if it sounds like you're offering a choice when there's only one option.

Now that your baby plays more often, they're likely to feel sweaty and icky. To keep them feeling fresh longer, sprinkle some baby powder over their skin, especially in the folds, after baths. Remember to choose a baby powder made with natural ingredients and free from talc, ensuring it's safe even if your baby inhales some during application. Choose Mylo Baby Powder , which:

• Keeps skin fresh & soft.
• Dries skin naturally.
• Relieves itchiness.
• Is talc-free.

Traveling with your Baby

• Now might just be the perfect time to take your baby out for a vacation.
• If you don't have older children in school, try to take your holidays in term time if you can.
• It tends to be cheaper and less crowded.
• You may also avoid the scorching summer temperatures of most destinations.
• If you do have to go where it’s hot, learn how to keep your baby safe in the sun.
• Staying in a family-friendly hotel might be helpful so, you don’t have to prepare meals and clean rooms.
• To make your vacation even better, you and your partner can spend some time with each other.
• This means finding suitable holiday childcare.
• Try to find family-friendly hotels or resorts that offer creches or childcare services.

• When you don't have the time to dedicate solely to talking to your baby, he/she will still love it if you're talking to him/her while preparing dinner, driving or unpacking the shopping.
