Outside fun with baby? Growth chart percentiles? Symptoms of ear infection? See all baby Q&As

Walk this way Baby’s crawling days are numbered! If he hasn’t already taken his first steps, it might happen soon. Sit in front of him with your arms extended and a big smile on your face to encourage him to walk toward you, and don’t forget to keep a camera nearby! To-do:

Skip the teething tablets Recheck your baby-proofing Maintain the tummy time

[ tip ] If you’re having trouble spoon-feeding baby, give him his own spoon to hold. This will distract him and allow him to practice feeding himself and give you the chance to continue more easily.
