Baby Development: 3 Months Old

Your 3 month old baby Your baby's development during month 3 is really fantastic. Your baby will almost start to seem "human" as he/she begins to react and interact with you and your family, as well as his/her strength developing, giving baby a little more movement on his/her own.

Another nice thing about month 3 is the fact that baby may begin to sleep through at night, giving you a full nights sleep, even though he/she may be awake any time from 5am!

There is nothing better than the sound of your baby laughing as the two of you play together, and during the early stages of this month you may begin to experience this.

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.
