Your baby is not a little adult
There are many reasons for wanting to express breastmilk. The most important decision is choosing a pump which suits your needs and situation, and then storing your breastmilk appropriately.
Around 8-10 months, increase the variety and texture of foods for your baby.
Around 10-12 months, babies are ready for harder finger foods & self-feeding.
The age your baby gets teeth varies greatly from child to child. Although rare, your baby may even have a tooth or two at birth. For some babies teeth start to appear around four months, occasionally some babies won’t have any until after the 12-month mark, but for most, baby teeth begin erupting anywhere from six to nine months of age.
Your baby’s poo lets you know how well their digestive system is performing, and what is ‘normal’ is a source of common confusion for most parents. Basically, what goes in one end will determine what comes out the other! That means there is likely to be slight differences in poo between babies depending on their age and what food or milk is being ingested (breast, infant formula, solids or a combination). It is important to know what to expect in a nappy so you can then know when your baby’s poo is abnormal and may need healthcare professional advice.
