          Your baby’s world right now

          More familiar every day.

          Babies use many of their senses to get to know their mothers while they are still in the womb. As your baby takes in everything in the "outside" world, she uses that information to communicate with you.

          Your baby’s nutrition

          Some fussiness is fine.

          All babies are fussy and gassy at times, but if it seems your baby has more frequent fussiness and gas than you think is normal, she could have milk-protein sensitivity.* Reactions can include:
          All babies are fussy and gassy at times, but if it seems your baby has more frequent fussiness and gas than you think is normal, she could have milk-protein sensitivity.* Reactions can include:
          • Skin rashes
          • Watery stools
          • Irritability
          IMPORTANT: If you are at all concerned, you should speak to your healthcare professional for advice. They will determine whether you should eliminate certain foods from your diet if you breastfeed, or whether your baby should be fed a special formula. You shouldn’t make any changes before speaking to your doctor.

          Your baby’s development

          Two months old, and she’s already telling you like it is.

          All babies develop at different rates. You should not be concerned if your baby does something later or earlier than your friend's children. In general, by the end of your baby's second month, she will likely be able to do the following:
          All babies develop at different rates. You should not be concerned if your baby does something later or earlier than your friend's children. In general, by the end of your baby's second month, she will likely be able to do the following:
          • Smile when you touch or talk to her
          • React to loud sounds by startling, crying, or getting very quiet
          • No longer keep her hands in tight fists
          • Begin recognizing you and your partner as the parents
          • Be able to lift her chest off the floor using her forearms for support
          Right now, it’s all about the body language.
          Your baby cannot speak yet, but her body is speaking to you loud and clear, if you know what to look for.

          She is seeking ways to adapt to the world. For example, sleeping is one way she learns to organize her life: When she’s tired, she "turns off" the environment, conserving energy to grow.

          She is giving you permission and feedback. Watch her closely and you will learn how much or how little stimulation she can handle, and when she is ready for talking, feeding, singing, or playing. Her actions will say it all.

          Things to think about now

          Sleep patterns and tips.

          • Your baby will probably sleep for shorter periods during the day and longer stretches at night.
          • To help her get used to falling back to sleep on her own, gently place her down in the crib while she's groggy but still awake.
          • Keep your rooms and interaction bright and lively during the day.
          • Keep rooms and interaction dim and calm in the evening.

          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.
