At this age, many babies may seem more fussy or colicky. It's essential to remain patient as colicky babies typically outgrow this phase. Your baby's safety is paramount, so even in moments of frustration, handle your baby gently. Don't hesitate to reach out to friends, relatives, or your pediatrician if the crying becomes overwhelming. If you find yourself needing a break and no one is available to assist you, it's okay to place your baby gently on their back in a safe space, like a crib or bassinet, and take a few moments to compose yourself.

We do a lot at this visit, including:

• Measure your baby’s weight, length and head size and record on a growth curve.

At this visit we will:

At this stage, your baby can transition from breast milk or formula to cow’s milk if you prefer. However, continuing with breast milk is perfectly healthy if that's your choice. Most babies now require three meals and 2-3 snacks per day, along with no more than 16-20 ounces of whole cow's milk. As your baby explores solid foods, they can enjoy many of the same foods you eat, but remember to avoid small, hard foods that could pose a choking hazard.

Now is the ideal time to wean your child from the bottle and introduce all liquids in a sippy cup. Making this transition now is much easier than waiting until your child is older, reducing the risk of cavities and potential struggles.
