Now that your baby has started consuming solids, you might notice a few changes in your baby's potty.

Emotional Development

• By now, your baby's getting better at showing his/her emotions.
• This is a lovely time, as you can start to see how much he/she appreciates you and your partner.
• If your baby has seen you showing affection, for example by blowing kisses, he/she may start to copy you when he/she wants to show his/her feelings for familiar people.
• To encourage his/her budding caring side, give him/her plenty of praise whenever you see him/her acting affectionately.

Soon your baby will be turning 8 months old, meaning you can bathe them frequently. But frequent baths can increase their risk of skin dryness. So, it's important to choose a gentle baby soap that cleans your baby's skin without stripping away its natural moisture. Try Mylo Baby Soap , which:

• Cleanses gently.
• Retains natural moisture.
• Keeps skin soft & supple.
• Is 100% natural.

• Grandparents mean well. They really do.
• But sometimes even the best-intentioned advice may not be enough, and you may feel like you're being criticized.
• It can be easy to pull up your defences when this happens, but take a deep breath and try to stand your ground calmly.
• Talk to your partner about your concerns, and make sure you agree before approaching the grandparent in question.
• It'll be easier to make your case if you put up a united front.
• Things can get particularly tricky if grandparents are caring for your baby while you’re at work.
• Although you can trust them, establishing some ground rules on childcare won’t hurt.

• Your baby will learn a lot by watching you do almost everything.
• For example, if he sees you happily tucking into your food, he may be more inclined to eat well himself.

Creeping & Crawling: Your baby is growing stronger every day. He/she is probably starting to rock back and forth on the tummy and use the legs and arms to move towards items of interest. This activity helps him/her to keep moving by placing toys where he/she must move to reach them.
