15 WEEKS PREGNANT

Language Development

• Your baby's language development is coming along in leaps and bounds.
• She's starting to work out the basic sounds of speech, and may start saying "ma-ma" and "da-da" this month.
• This doubling up of sounds is all part of learning to talk.
• Don't be disappointed if your little one seems to get the hang of "da-da" before "ma-ma".
• These sounds don't mean much to your baby at this stage.
• Your little one may simply find it easier to say "da-da" than "ma-ma", or she may have heard it more often.

Your baby depends entirely on you for nutrition at this stage, which may keep you tethered to their side. But you don't have to sacrifice your freedom to go out or work. With a breast pump, you can provide nutrition seamlessly even when you're away. Try Mylo Manual Breast Pump , which:

• Allows pain-free pumping.
• Mimics baby's natural suction.
• Reduces heaviness in breasts.
• Fits every breast size.

Exercise after Delivery

• You may be feeling ready to build some gentle exercise back into your daily life.
• Go easy if this is your first foray into fitness since your baby's birth, though.
• Pilates, yoga and swimming are ideal for stretching and strengthening your core muscles.
• If you’re finding it hard to squeeze exercise into your busy routine, why not bring your baby too!
• There are many simple ways to exercise together.
• Take your baby for a brisk walk or sign up to a parent-and-baby yoga class.

• You may be wondering whether your baby is ready for her first taste of solid food.
• Well, the experts say it's still too early.
• She'll get all she needs from breastmilk or formula milk until she's six months old.
• So, even if friends and relatives say it's time for solids, you can be confident that you’re following the correct guidelines for introducing first foods.
• This month, your baby's third set of immunisations are due.
• She’ll be given three injections to protect her against serious infectious diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, and meningitis B.

Copy-Cat: Encourage baby to make noise by responding to her as if in conversation. You can repeat sounds she makes and add new words. She will soon understand the give and take with communication and she may begin to babble sounds from words she’s heard you say. Helps baby develop communication skills.
