SAYING BYE-BYE TO BABY DEALING WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY
This is called separation anxiety, which is a normal developmental phase for babies. Between the ages of 8 to 14 months, your baby starts to notice when you aren't there. The crying begins when you leave, even if it's just for a few minutes. This phase doesn't last for long - usually going away during the last half of your baby's second year.

TAKING CARE OF TEETHING
It's something all babies have to go through. Teething actually is a process that begins even before your baby's first teeth start to appear. Babies usually start teething when they are 4 to 7 months old. Typically, the first teeth to come in are the two front bottom teeth. A month or two later, the front four upper teeth appear, followed by the two lower incisors about four weeks after that. Next, the first molars arrive, and then the eyeteeth. However, this is just a general range and many babies will have their teeth coming in earlier or later.

Regular dental check-ups are an essential part of your child's overall health care. It is important to ensure that going to the dentist is a positive experience for your child from an early age.
