28 WEEKS PREGNANT

• Your baby still doesn't have the muscle control to use a spoon well, but he/she is probably keen to try feeding himself/herself anyway.
• Perhaps he/she refuses to be fed by you or grabs food from your plate.
• Although this can sometimes be frustrating, it's a great sign that he/she is getting more independent.
• Try scattering finger foods, such as steamed vegetable sticks, broccoli florets, and plain pasta twists, onto your baby's highchair tray.
• Even if he/she doesn't have any teeth yet, he/she can still enjoy a wide range of foods.
• His/her gums will be able to make quick work of soft foods such as fruits, cooked vegetables, and even toast and rice cakes.

Planning a trip or day-out with your baby can be stressful, as the fear of forgetting something important is always looming. To ensure you have all your baby essentials organized and easily accessible, invest in a diaper bag. Choose Mylo Baby Diaper Bag that has:

• Extra storage with 10 pockets.
• Water-resistant design.
• Insulated bottle holders.
• Separate dry & wet sections.

Starting Work

• If your parental leave is coming to an end, you may be thinking about returning to work.
• If so, you could be feeling a bit guilty about the idea of leaving your baby.
• Or you may be looking forward to getting back out there, but feeling guilty about not feeling guilty enough!
• Either way, it's worth finding sources of support.
• Talk to other parents in your office to see how they handle the competing demands of work and family.

• Many parents worry about choking when their baby starts solid food, particularly if they're doing baby-led weaning.
• Babies have a strong gag reflex, and it can be difficult to tell the difference between gagging and choking at first.
• So, it is better to feed them slowly.

Favorite Toy:

• You might find your child showing affection to a favorite toy.
• Do carry this toy with you wherever you go.
