          Your baby’s world right now

          More active every day.

          Your baby might be exploring your home more than ever before. Whether she’s cruising around the living room furniture, standing on her own, or climbing up (but not down) the stairs, consider taking new steps to keep her safe.
          Your baby might be exploring your home more than ever before. Whether she’s cruising around the living room furniture, standing on her own, or climbing up (but not down) the stairs, consider taking new steps to keep her safe.

          It’s a good idea to install safety gates or other barriers at the top and bottom of stairs. Here are some other tips to help keep your baby safe:
          • Clear her play area of hard, sharp-edged furniture
          • Lower her crib mattress so she can’t crawl out or fall while she stands
          • Install childproof locks on drawers, screens, doors, and windows
          • Move pots and pans containing hot foods away from counter and table edges
          • Insert plug protectors in any unused electrical outlets
          • Store toxic substances (like household cleaners and products)

          Feeding your baby’s brain.

          She might not use real words yet, but if you ask your baby to point to her favorite toy or book, chances are she can. She’s babbling and she may even say a word or two. It’s a great time to foster her growing brain and developing hand-eye coordination with these activities:
          She might not use real words yet, but if you ask your baby to point to her favorite toy or book, chances are she can. She’s babbling and she may even say a word or two. It’s a great time to foster her growing brain and developing hand-eye coordination with these activities:
          • Help her walk with (or without) support
          • Ask her to find her favorite toy in her toy basket
          • Provide push/pull toys for her to play with
          • Roll or toss a large ball back and forth
          • Encourage her to stand and pick up a toy off the floor without holding on to anything

          All babies develop at different rates. You should not be concerned if your baby does something later or earlier than other children. In general, by the end of her eleventh month, your baby will likely be able to do the following:

          • Drink from a cup
          • Say one word other than “mama” or “dada”

          Things to think about now

          Or rather, some things NOT to think about.

          Your baby has come so far in almost a year. But maybe you’ve got a few things on your mind.

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
