You want to serve your little foodie the best in infant nutrition.
What you don’t want are bugs in her food—yuck!
Your house is about to become home to all kinds of firsts for your new family addition—make sure everyone can share every special moment in a safe environment where your baby can thrive!
Looks like you have quite the little sleepyhead on your hands, during the day at least. At night? Not so much. Follow these tips so you can both adjust. Plus, take comfort knowing you can also see what the Canadian Paediatric Society says about healthy sleep any time of day—or night!
