Parenting Tips for Your 7 Month Old Baby

When you’re out walking or shopping, you will see other parents and their babies.

Stop and talk. Ask questions. It’s fun to compare notes.

Ask how the baby has changed in the last one to two weeks. What is the latest thing she is learning? What is the baby’s favorite time of day? What does she seem to enjoy the most?

You will have your own questions, too. Other parents will have their own tricks for soothing a crying baby or making feeding easier. Ask about them.

Other parents are like you. They have learned a lot — and they love to talk about their babies!
