FIRST YEAR
Feeding
In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in the way we approach infant feeding, with baby-led weaning emerging as a scientifically supported alternative to traditional purees and rice cereal. Baby-led weaning, rooted in the principles of responsive feeding and infant self-regulation, advocates for introducing solid foods directly to infants, allowing them to explore and feed themselves from the family table. This approach not only promotes healthy eating habits but also fosters the development of crucial motor skills and autonomy in infants.
FIRST YEAR
Sleep
The journey of navigating infant sleep is a deeply personal and individualized experience for parents, guided by their unique beliefs, preferences, and comfort levels. From the decision to co-sleep to exploring alternative sleep arrangements and sleep training, parents are faced with a myriad of choices when it comes to fostering healthy sleep habits for their newborns. Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to infant sleep, and what works best for one family may not necessarily suit another.
