A. I can totally understand. even I was like this. I had no idea. I even had to travel after a year and half. that time it was just my husband , baby and me. I wasnt sure at all how I can take care. but you will definitely learn. it is amazing to see them do new things everyday. take care. we are here to help anytime you need.

A. thanks shaista. he is my first and i get worried easily. I don't have experience with babies before in family as well. I know babies achieve milestone at their time but still I cannot stop myself from worrying. with passing time i will get used to this. lol.

A. yes he has very good eye contact not only with me hut my whole family and enjoys our attention.

A. ideally you should not worry. sine babies enjoy certain things and some babies dont. not every baby is same. some may take a few extra months to reach some milestones. you are saying he does everything else. just make sure he is looking at you and making eye contact while you talk to him.
