Baby Development: 2 Month Old

Your 2 month old baby By the second month, both you and your baby should really be getting into the swing of things. Your baby is now more alert and spending more time awake during the day. You should be in a routine that suits both you and your baby.

He/She will also be far more interactive then the first few weeks. You can now pay different games to help him/her develop and help your bond get stronger and stronger with each passing day.

Hello Everyone!

Special Feature

Preventing SIDs
It is something that all of us worry about and remains in our minds during those early months in our children's lives. It causes many restless nights and the endless checking on our babies to make sure they are breathing.

Tummy Time Tactics
So what is this "tummy time" that everyone is always talking about? Quite simply, it is an important part of a babies development and a special time that a baby needs to spend laying on their tummies.

Group B Strep Swab
There are many different tests you will have to do during pregnancy and one that is given routinely is called a Group B Streptococcus swab. This test is very important and should not be taken lightly.

Fun Games For Baby
So you've waited nine long months to finally meet your precious little bundle. Now that you have your baby home, what do you do?
