their nappy, want to feed or just need a big cuddle. your baby's crying seems abnormal in any way (such as a very high-pitched cry, or a whimper), then seek medical advice. Trust your instincts - you know your baby best.

Weaning
Food is often a source of worry to parents, with questions such as when to start introducing solid foods, what foods to begin with, and whether your baby will like it. Breast milk or formula milk provides all the nutrition that babies need for the first six months.,

In the early days of weaning, you're just getting your baby used to taking food from a spoon. They will still be getting most of the nourishment required from their usual milk feeds. Their stomachs can't digest other foods properly until this age, after this time it's a good idea to start slowly introducing solids alongside milk, as your baby will start to need iron and other nutrients and will also benefit from the different textures and tastes.

By the age of 12 months they can be joining in with family meals.Indications that your baby is ready for solids are that they remain hungry after a milk feed, they seem more hungry and are demanding food more often (perhaps starting to wake in the night to be fed having previously slept through), or may mimic your eating with great interest after six months of age. They should be able to sit up, with some support to begin with.

Childhood Immunisations
Immunisation is a way of protecting your child against serious disease. Once children have been immunised their bodies can fight those diseases if they come into contact with them.

If a child is not immunised they will be at risk from catching the disease and will rely on other people immunising their children to avoid becoming infected.

At two, three and four months old your child will be offered vaccinations that protect against a number of serious conditions, including Diphtheria, tetanus and Meningitis C.
