Week 24 News

And they're off! Some babies start moving around about now. It might be a bottom shuffle, or a commando crawl, or a puppyish roll, but off they go. Some won't move for months, so don't worry if yours isn't yet. They have a better focus now, so they'll be excited by seeing smaller items, like their teddy bear's nose.
 
 
 
The Expert View

Moving on to solid foods is an exciting stage for both you and your baby. There are lots of new flavours and textures for your little one to try, and it's important to make sure that baby gets food from all 5 food groups. To help you and your baby get the hang of it, we've compiled a guide to weaning, full of top tips and how tos.

Need to know

When you're preparing food for your baby, hygiene is really important. Make sure to always thoroughly wash your hands, as well as bowls, cutlery and beakers. Always wash high chairs with soapy water or antibacterial wipes. Remember, your little one's immune system is still developing.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The best way to feed a baby is to breastfeed, as breast milk provides the ideal balanced diet and protection against illness for your baby and also many non-nutritional benefits for both baby and mother. We recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional when deciding on your choice of feeding your baby. Professional guidance should also be sought on the preparation for and maintenance of breastfeeding. If you do choose to breastfeed, it's important to eat a healthy, balanced diet. Infant formula is intended to replace breast milk when mothers choose not to breastfeed or if for some reason they are unable to do so. A decision not to breastfeed, or to introduce partial bottle-feeding, will reduce the supply of breast milk. If for any reason you choose not to breastfeed, do remember that such a decision can be difficult to reverse. Using infant formula also has social and financial implications which must be considered. Infant formula should always be prepared, used and stored as instructed on the label, in order to avoid risks to a baby's health. SMA® PRO Follow-on Milk is only suitable for babies over 6 months as part of a mixed diet. It should not be used as a substitute for breast milk during the first 6 months. The decision to start weaning or to use this product before 6 months, should be made only on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist, based on baby's individual needs.
