Teething can make p**p looser (but usually not watery) — extra drool gets swallowed, comfort feeds increase, and solids may drop for a few days. If you see watery diarrhea, fever, vomiting, or dehydration signs, it’s likely not just teething 🤍

Newborns are born without a fully developed internal clock.
They don’t yet understand that daylight is for being awake and nighttime is for sleeping.

So if your baby sleeps soundly during the day and stays alert at night, it’s a normal developmental phase — not a habit you created and not a mistake you made.

When teething hits, cool + gentle textures can feel better on sore gums.
Try by age/readiness:
* 6m: chilled purée
* 9m: soft sticks (easy to mash)
* 12m: textured foods (soft, bite-size)
Always supervise + serve safely.

Children experience emotions deeply and intensely, often in ways that might seem disproportionate to adults. What seems like a small issue to us—like not being able to use a particular cup—can feel incredibly overwhelming to a child. Their feelings are real and valid, and it’s important that we acknowledge them with empathy and understanding.

As parents, the best thing we can do is show our children that we see their emotions, hear them, and truly understand what they are feeling. By providing comfort, reassurance, and validation, we help them navigate their emotions and develop the emotional intelligence that will serve them throughout their lives.

Every tantrum or emotional outburst is an opportunity to teach children how to manage and express their feelings in healthy ways. Patience and understanding go a long way in helping them feel supported and loved. 💖🌈

Why Babies Spit Up After Feeding”👇👇👇

(Milk coming out doesn’t always mean something is wrong 🍼)

You feed your baby…
Burp them…
Then suddenly milk comes out 😟

Many parents panic:
👉 “Is my baby sick?”
👉 “Am I feeding wrongly?”

Let’s break it down simply 👇

🧠 Why spitting up happens
Babies spit up because:
• Their food pipe (oesophagus) is still immature
• The valve that keeps milk in the stomach is weak
• Baby’s stomach is small and fills up quickly
• Swallowing air during feeding

👉 This is called normal reflux.

✅ When spitting up is NORMAL
✔ Baby is gaining weight
✔ Baby is active and happy
✔ Spit-up looks like milk
✔ No forceful vomiting
✔ Baby feeds well afterward
Most babies outgrow this by 6–12 months.

🚨 When parents should worry
See a health professional if:
• Vomiting is forceful (projectile)
• Baby is not gaining weight
• Vomit is green, yellow, or bloody
• Baby cries excessively during feeds
• Baby refuses feeds

These are red flags, not normal reflux.

❌ Common mistakes
• Overfeeding
• Feeding too fast
• Laying baby flat immediately after feeds
• Changing formula frequently without advice

✅ How parents can reduce spit-up
✔ Feed smaller amounts more often
✔ Burp baby during and after feeds
✔ Keep baby upright for 20–30 minutes after feeding
✔ Ensure proper latch (for breastfed babies)
✔ Avoid tight clothing around the tummy

Spit-up looks messybut it’s usually harmless.
A “happy spitter” is still a healthy baby.
