During pregnancy, it's very normal for your lower belly to ache; after all you are growing a human! This aching, as opposed to cramping, is caused by the stretching of the muscles and ligaments (the tough, flexible tissues that connect your bones) supporting your uterus
Most pregnant women know that what they put (or don't put) in their bodies is important to the well-being of their growing baby, whether it's the right kind of protein, too much caffeine, or certain types of fish. But many pregnant women might not know that what they put on their bodies can be just as important.
If your baby has diaper rash, you'll know it. Their skin will look red and inflamed where it's been in close contact with their diaper. The rash will probably affect their genitals, the outer skin on the folds of their thighs, and their bum. The affected areas can appear either dry or moist and may sometimes look shiny or pimply.

You've been happily breastfeeding your baby for weeks or months, and suddenly your little one balks at your breast. It can come as quite a shock, and leave you feeling bewildered and even a bit rejected.
Everyday activities such as playtime, diaper changing and feeding are a great opportunity to develop your baby’s sense of touch, smell, hearing, sight and taste. You can even help them to use those senses to boost their physical and mental development too.
As human beings, we're naturally empathetic; we feel for what other people are going through. Still, young children, as any parent knows, are not models of selfless, generous behaviour – empathy is something they need to learn from you. If your child hits their sibling for instance, you can say, "It hurts when you hit people. Here's how you touch nicely. How does that feel?" At some point the message will sink in – but it may take a while.
Many couples, as the months go by and they don’t conceive, begin to wonder if they have a 'problem'. Yet the time it takes to conceive actually varies a great deal. Even if everything is working as it should, you have only a 20 to 30 per cent chance of getting pregnant each month. Around 84 per cent of couples actively trying for a baby conceive within one year, so most doctors don't consider that you have a fertility problem unless you’ve had frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year. In the second year of trying, half of couples will become pregnant without any kind of medical help.
It's not surprising babies can learn how to sign; both their understanding of language and their motor skills develop much faster than their ability to speak. And they love to mimic: most babies, for example, discover how to wave and point long before they can say'bye bye' or 'look at that!'
You may need stitches after you've given birth to your baby vaginally. The area between the opening to your vagina and your back passage (perineum) may stretch so far that it tears a little as your baby is born. Your perineum is very stretchy. Even so, your baby may need a bit more room on the way out, resulting in a tear.
Even before your baby was born, little tooth buds were developing under their gums. So when do baby teeth start to appear?
