Your Baby this Week

To be a child is tough, particularly when someone who’s bigger than you are, decides what you are going to wear, and when you need to take a bath, go to bed, and what you eat! One of the only ways that your 15-month-old can voice his displeasure is to say “no” or refuse to co-operate!. To cut down on the number of no’s you hear, try to limit your own use of the word – children are great mimics! You may be pleasantly surprised by the results.
