Your Baby this Week

By Gauri Ratnam | Updated: 20/11/2020

Your child is fascinated by how things work, he will try to grab and manipulate things, to improve his fine motor skills. Give him an open sippy cup and see how he tries to screw the lid back on, and then off again. The opening and closing of the doors of the cabinet will also make for endless enjoyment! Be sure to put safety latches on things that are not safe to explore. You’ll find your baby chuckling away as he explores but also be prepared for tears of frustration! Encourage him with lots of hugs and kisses and guide him whenever he needs help.
