        Your baby’s world right now

        A personality all his own.

        Your baby’s development is taking off as he starts to reveal his budding personality. He’s about to start the physical changes of becoming a toddler, so it’s time to prepare the next growth spurt.

        Your baby’s nutrition

        Prepare to wave “buh-bye” to the bottle.

        If your 1-year-old is still using the bottle, here are some helpful tips that could help his transition to a sippy cup.
        If your 1-year-old is still using the bottle, here are some helpful tips that could help his transition to a sippy cup.
        • In the beginning, offer the cup instead of midday bottles.
        • Do not let your baby roam with the bottle. Limit the places he can have it (on your lap, at the table).
        • In the beginning, introduce water in a sippy cup with one meal per day. Continue breastfeeding.
        • Give him a small snack before bedtime. It could help him get to sleep.
        • Offer special time with a favorite blanket or special stuffed animal before bedtime, instead of a bottle.

        You’ve both come so far during the past 12 months. Your baby will continue to develop at his own pace, which is completely normal. Around this time is when your baby will be able to:
        • Take his first solo steps
        • Say two words other than “mama” and “dada”
        • Speak in “baby-talk” sentences
        • Imitate your actions
        • Drink from a cup without help

        Things to think about now

        Help keep your baby’s brain developing with play in both social settings and your one-on-one time with him.

        Introduce him to brief play dates to practice playing in groups. There won’t be much interactive playing yet, but he’ll get used to the playing environment.

        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.
