Caring for a baby takes a lot of time and energy. Taking care of yourself is important too.

Reach out for help and support if you need it. Your health professionals are there to support both you and your baby.

At around 6 to 8 months, your baby is likely to be having 2-3 daytime naps with a total of 2-4 hours. 

Playing is very important for your baby's learning and development. It's good to have a mix of active and quiet play. 

It's normal for babies and toddlers between 6 months and 3 years old to feel anxious when they are separated from their main caregiver (parent or carer). 

Give your baby safe toys and experiences to help with their development.
