When your baby first comes home from the hospital, their irregular sleep patterns can be both challenging and exhausting.

Your baby’s growing (so fast!) and his digestive system is developing, too.

By Dr. Jeff Habert, family physician

Watching your baby suffer from the symptoms of tummy troubles can be distressing.

Because babies are born with immature digestive systems, they may experience episodes of colic, constipation, or spit-up during their first months.

When you’re a new parent your baby’s cries can be overwhelming. Remember it’s a new world outside the womb and your little one is adjusting to his new surroundings.

Infantile colic is characterized by intense, uncontrolled crying or fussing in an otherwise healthy and well-fed baby.

Can you believe your little one is almost two years old? Your toddler is changing all the time now and probably already has some favourite games.

Did you know? Many two-year-olds spend too much time sitting still and don’t play outdoors every day.

From crawling to standing and taking their first steps, your baby is now moving quickly into toddlerhood and becoming more active and mobile all the time.

Did you know? Young children risk missing out on important outdoor play and activity when their time is spent watching television and in front of screens.

The time you spend playing with your baby is precious, and enjoying games together is fun for both of you. But playtime is much more than just special moments spent together.

Free play, away from screens, is essential for your baby’s speech, sleep, creativity, and brain growth.

Playing with your baby is not only fun, it also helps them develop skills to build on for an active childhood.

There are plenty of fun activities you and your baby can do together to ensure that undesirable screen-watching habits never start.

Did you know? Even at a very young age, screen time can have an impact on activity levels and sleep.
