The daily bath, especially in the first months of life, is a moment of pampering and relaxation for mum and baby.

The bath has a relaxing effect and can be a great way to encourage sleep, so it can be done in the…
Cuddles and caresses are the first mean of effective communication between mum and her baby and strengthen their bond. The touch is one of the main senses, the first to develop, appearing already in the embryo.

There’s the thinking that because baby teeth eventually fall out, there’s not much reason to look after them. Not so, say experts—how you treat those first little pearlies actually determines the health of adult teeth. Primary teeth—or ‘milk teeth’—are important for eating, as well as speech development. What’s more, they serve as place markers for permanent teeth. If a baby tooth is lost too early, due to gum disease or cavities, the space closes as surrounding teeth drift into this position—resulting in potential orthodontic…
