Should I let my child cry it out?

Crying is a baby's way of communicating. Responding to your baby's cries builds trust and a sense of cause and effect. Responding to a baby's nighttime cries is an important part of parenting, but so is sleep. Parents should also keep in mind that "sleeping through the night" for an infant means a five-hour block of sleep, no...

Will my fussy baby have problems later in life?

As a mom who has experienced colic, I am well-aware of the affects this temperament can have on the care-giver. But do fussy babies grow up into difficult adults?

Should I worry if my baby skips crawling and goes straight to walking?

With more parents placing infants on their backs to sleep, in accordance with doctor recommendations for preventing SIDS, more babies are skipping crawling. Some experts believe the bilateral integration of crawling is important to developing strength, motor skills and neural connections. Because both sides of the body must work togeth...

How do I transition my baby to sleeping throughout the night in her crib? She will sleep about 5-6 hours alone then cry for me.

All of us do something to help us get back to sleep when we rouse at night. For your daughter, it’s snuggling with you. For older babies, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing (unless it’s keeping you awake and making you a zombie, in which case it is a bad thing). But for younger babies, especially those under six months, sleeping with y...

When should I introduce finger foods?

Finger foods are foods your baby can pick up and eat by him or herself. Signs that a baby is ready for finger foods include a good pincer grasp (the ability to pick up small objects between the thumb and forefinger), the ability to sit upright independently and an interest in foods. Foods that are soft or dissolve easily are the best f...

How can I teach my baby to eat finger foods? She eats well as long as I feed her.

Babies usually start finger foods around six months of age. Some have more interest than others; while some babies are very independent, others enjoy being fed by others. I am a fan of letting babies feed themselves as soon as they are able. It puts them in charge of the amount of food they eat, which builds better eating habits and de...

When will my baby's teeth come in?

Every baby is different, as are their teething timelines. Some babies are born with teeth, while others don’t experience any tooth eruption for the duration of their first year. In spite of the fluctuations, however, a loose pattern does exist: many babies welcome their first tooth at around six months of age. The middle bottom teeth, ...
