Week 19 News

The Expert View
Intense continuous crying can be a sign a tooth is appearing. Stay calm and use your usual soothing methods. A warm bath or a massage can also help. It can be really stressful, especially if you and baby aren't sleeping – but no matter how frustrated and emotional things become, just remember, this is just a phase. |

Need to know
Babies find sitting up one of the hardest things to do. One way to help them learn is to spread their legs into a V shape on the floor, then put one of their favourite toys between their knees. You’ll still need a cushion or two behind though! Support with your hand, and never leave them unattended. |
