It will be the longest 3 minutes of your life.  

If you follow Pediatricians’ recommendations, Tummy time (lying down in the prone position) will be the longest 3 minutes of your new baby’s life, too.

At about day three (postpartum for a baby carried to term), it’s time to give your infant the opportunity to develop even musculature in the neck, arms, and upper body.

Just because your baby isn’t walking yet — that doesn’t mean her feet are unemployed.

For several weeks, the newborn might notice her own feet, especially during diaper changes when they are handled and held near the line of sight between her face and yours.

But there’s not much she can do about this new discovery until her brain development and motor development catch up with her observation skills.

In the past children learned to sing from siblings, parents, and extended family, in a process that parallels learning how to speak words.

Nowadays (yes, I used that word) it’s a purple dinosaur who teaches us that it’s much easier to “clean up, clean up” with the help of background singers.

As more children and their families consume media-generated sounds or songs, traditional music might be getting less attention.

At around 12 weeks of age, babies move both of their arms when you offer an object.  Yet by 16 weeks of age, most babies reach out for objects with the left hand…..

But at 24 weeks (6 months) they are back to the two-handed approach.  Hmmm….

At 28 weeks, a mere month later, babies will again show a preference, and it is ususally the right hand.  You ready for this?  The switching back and forth continues.
