However, before introducing new foods to your baby, it is important to seek advice from health experts. They will guide the appropriate types of food for your baby's age and any allergies or sensitivities you need to be aware of.

This is important because nutritious and healthy food is a source of the nutrients your baby needs for healthy growth and development.

Also, make sure you make a regular sleep schedule for your baby and stick to it strictly. This will help your baby to form healthy sleep patterns and help them to sleep more soundly.

Babies and young children are very susceptible to extreme weather, such as heat and rain, because their skin is thinner, and they have less ability to regulate their body temperature than adults.
