1 Month Baby Development

Your 1 month old baby Welcome to the Month by Month baby development section! All the information given throughout this section of our website is based on a full term baby, weighing 7 pounds and measuring 20 inches at birth, which is what the average is.

Should your baby be small, growth may be less in a given week, and so the same holds true for a larger baby, where the growth may be more. Should your baby be born premature, then the growth and weight gain may be delayed, but they do usually catch up.

Each month is broken up to the 4 weeks of which they comprise as there is just simply too much information to place in one page. These articles can always be found below the Monthly developmental milestones.

Special Feature

Important Cloth Diaper Basics
hanks to the recent "green" way of thinking, people are starting to look more seriously into alternatives to disposable diapers. Cloth diapers have come a long way over the past decade and are nothing like the cloth diapers of the past.

Returning To Work Post Pregnancy
Some women are lucky to have lots of time off after having a baby, while others need to go back to work as soon as possible. No matter how long a maternity leave you may have had to spend with your baby, going back to work can be a hard transition...one that you are not looking forward to making.

Great Breastfeeding Tips
Although breastfeeding is a wonderful experience for you and your baby, it is not one that comes without hardships. Breastfeeding at first, can be very difficult and hard to commit to. It doesn't have to be this way though.
