We’re back again with our blog series sharing baby milestones by month titled "Baby’s Developmental Milestones With Ergobaby: Baby’s First Year. Today is the third instalment with the 3 month-old baby development steps and milestones. So, what can a baby do when they have been in this world for a quarter of a year? Our midwife and expert Katrin shares more...
Are you ready for a little more action? Your baby definitely is. They are moving out of the period where they familiarise themselves with this big new world and the urge to explore is awakened. They have left the initial adjustment difficulties behind, and your little treasure is feeling more and more at home in this world. If they suffer from flatulence, for example, this should improve by the end of the third month. This

It happens so quickly. Week after week, this little newborn surprises you with a new, more developed skill. Time is racing and you probably want to freeze it to preserve every moment. The bad news is that unfortunately, that's not possible. The good news is that many unforgettable moments still await you - incredibly exciting and beautiful. And every age and stage has something special, something unique, along with new challenges of course.
So that you know what to expect, last month we launched our new blog series "Baby's developmental milestones with Ergobaby: Baby's first year” starting with “Your 1 month old baby”.

We have already announced our brand-new blog series "Milestones" and now it’s here! We’ll be sharing all the baby developmental milestones that your little one goes through up to their first birthday. Month by month. With the help of our lovely midwife and baby expert Katrin. Today in focus: "your 1 month old baby".
So, what happens in your baby's development during the first four weeks after birth? Firstly, we would like to emphasise that every baby is an individual and develops at their own pace. Some move quicker in terms of motor skills, and others make faster cognitive progress. The following developmental stages are therefore merely guidelines. If your child is not yet showing one or two skills, give them time. It will come. And if you are ever concerned, you should talk to your midwife, health visitor or GP about whatever is troubling you.

Firstly, with our informative and helpful Baby Steps newsletter, which keeps you up to date every few weeks on what developmental steps baby will be taking next.

Have you ever wondered how newborn babies can intuitively suckle on their mother's breast/chest? How can they do it so instinctively? It's simple: sucking and suckling are innate behavioural mechanisms in young babies.
Even in the womb, growing babies can be observed sucking their thumbs during ultrasound examinations. According to scientific studies, sucking has a calming effect and can even help to reduce unpleasant or painful sensations. It's no wonder that in some families a dummy is considered the "Holy Grail" that must not be lost under any circumstances.
But what about a dummy? Is it healthy for your little one’s teeth development? And if so, what does the perfect dummy look like? Or is it best not to teach your baby to suck on a dummy, because it is so difficult to wean off later? And what if your child prefers to suck their thumb rather

Leaving home with baby for the first time can be seriously daunting. You ask yourself a hundred questions: “What do I need to take for baby?” “Will they be too hot?

There are so many things to think about and the list of contingencies just gets longer and longer.

Parents of newborn babies are often nervous about placing their baby on their stomach. After all, your baby can't really hold its head up by itself yet so it’s understandable that when your little one starts to lie on their tummy, you want to quickly turn them onto their back.
And it’s no wonder if your baby grumbles at the start. The prone position or “tummy time” is not as easy for your baby at first because their head is so heavy. In addition, their spine is not yet erect in the double S-shape as it is in adults, and their hip joints are more forward so they can't lie down straight and have to work actively against this in the prone position. And sometimes they just don't feel like doing it.
What is the purpose of the prone position of a baby?

Springtime is so much more than a transitional time between colder temperatures and long sunny beach days. It's a season of beautiful blooming flowers and new beginnings.
Apart from our window panes, which are often in particular need of thorough cleaning after a dark winter, the first rays of sunshine also highlights everything unwelcome visible in our home. Do you remember the last time you cleaned behind or under your sofa?
Just like our bodies need a regular detox, our homes need a good deep cleanse every once in a while to get rid of all the dirt, grime, and gunk that has accumulated over time. BUT how do you juggle a big household clean up job with a baby in tow?
It doesn’t always have to be a deep cleanse.

Earlier this month we launched our hotly anticipated Evolve 3-in-1 High Chair.
Did you know that with an easy add-on, it can turn into a sturdy and sleek Kitchen Helper?
What is a Kitchen Helper or Learning Tower?
A kitchen helper or learning tower (they’re the same thing!) is a piece of furniture that your little one can stand on to bring them up to the height of your kitchen counter or table. It allows your toddler to get involved with cooking, baking, crafts and more; safely and comfortably.
From baby’s first foods to big kid sous chef, the Evolve 3-in-1 High Chair simplifies your life so you can enjoy the magic in the everyday moments.
