Baby Express Issue 3 - Your growing, learning baby

Nursery rhymes are great for babies because they have repeated sounds and easy tunes. Nursery rhymes with actions are even better because babies can lean the actions and they're fun!

Can't remember any nursery rhymes? Here are some baby favourites, for you to sing with your baby.
This baby is older than 2-3 months old, so may be more developed than your baby, but listen to the rhymes and sing them to your baby.

Most babies don't need anything but breast milk or formula milk until thy're about six months old. Their digestive systems aren't ready to cope with solid food yet.

If you're breastfeeding, you might like to look at Best Beginnings' From Bump to Breastfeeding resource and you can watch the films online.  

If you want to out without your baby, they can still have all the advantages of breast milk. You can express your milk by hand or by using a pump - to find out how, see the film below or ask your Health Visitor.
