How your 26 week old baby is growing ?

 

You baby may soon be ready for finger foods. She will start snatching  the spoon you’re using to feed her  and start grabbing food on a plate. These are signs that she is ready for finger foods. You can start introducing your baby to solids by scattering  four or five pieces of finger foods on the high chair tray or an unbreakable plate. Monitor your child while she eats to reduce the risk of choking.

You have to know that your baby doesn’t have many teeth yet. So you have to give her food that will easily dissolve in her mouth. As she grows , you can give her bite size pieces of  whatever you’re eating.

 

Your life

 

It is difficult for new moms to make time for themselves. However making yourself a priority is important because you need to be strong and healthy to be able to take care of everybody else.

 

To be able to make time for yourself , you can do the following :

  • let go of things that are not so important such as cutting down on volunteer works you are engaged in
  • cook in bulk and freeze the rest
  • accept help if you need it
  • divide house chores and baby duties among you and your partner
