Every baby is different, and that’s why it’s important to find the right products that cater to their unique needs. As a new parent, it can be overwhelming to navigate the countless baby products available on the market. That’s why it’s crucial to focus on quality baby essentials that are designed to keep your little one safe, healthy, and happy. These essentials can include things like organic clothing, non-toxic skincare, and safe baby gear. By investing in quality baby essentials, you can ensure that your baby is getting the best possible care while also giving yourself peace of mind. And, as your baby grows and changes, you can adjust the products you use to fit their evolving needs. So, while there may not be a set schedule for babies and toddlers, there are certain things you can do to make their journey a little smoother – starting with using high-quality baby essentials.
‘Is he sleeping through the night yet?’
‘Are you still breastfeeding?’
‘What do you mean she never had purees?’
‘Isn’t it about time he potty trained?’
It’s all about the schedule, whoever’s schedule you happen to follow – generally based on whichever book happened to be given during pregnancy.
I had such a reminder again this week of the differences between children. I was unpacking a box of books when I came cross a mother & baby book I’d been given during my pregnancy. For 20 – 24 months it says:
Climbing up and down low furniture or climb frames is probably routinely attempted and achieved

Not my preferredway, but since she’s been taking stairs one or two at a time since 8 months, that’s apparently become boring (I can’t find the video of her taking the stairs like that, but when I do, I’ll add it.)
So yeah. Every child is different, and if you’re listening to your child, rather than the books, parenthood is going to be a much more enjoyable journey.
Did/does your child do things ‘by the book’? Do you even read ‘the book’?
