Your child: 6 weeks to 6 months (Ministry of Health video). Transcript.
Watch this video to find out about caring for your baby from 6 weeks to 6 months of age. We meet Sylvia, who is 4 months old, and her mum, Emily. We also hear from Erika, a Well Child Tamariki Ora nurse. Find out how Emily and Daniel (Sylvia's dad) are getting to know Sylvia - and who Sylvia laughed with first. Sylvia has just started teething. Emily talks about how important breastfeeding is, and how easy breastfeeding makes getting out and about with Sylvia. See how Sylvia is kept safe during sleep.
