Watch video on - 10 Stages of Walking

• Some time in the next few months, your baby will probably start standing and cruising about the room by holding on to furniture.
• He/she won't need shoes until he/she walks outside regularly, though.
• Your baby's feet will grow quickly, and if his/her toes are cramped by tight shoes or socks, they can't straighten out and develop healthily.
• Going barefoot can also help to strengthen your baby's leg muscles and the arches of his/her feet.
• It will allow him/her to feel the texture of what he/she is walking on, which can help with his/her sense of balance.
• See photos of other babies taking their first steps, and get tips on how to encourage your little one to walk.

As your baby grows, they're less likely to sit still in one place, especially during baths. Safety is a big concern as there is danger of tubs or baby slipping. To ensure your baby's safety and comfort during bathtime, you can use a baby bath seat. Try Mylo Baby Bath Seat , which offers:

• Anti-skid base.
• 3 recline positions.
• Cushioned headrest.
• Extended footrest.

Balancing Parenting and Career

• Whether you are a single mom trying to make ends meet, a couple with an only breadwinner, or a household where everyone goes out to work, it can be tricky balancing work with a baby.
• But remember, it's possible to have a career and still be a hands-on parent.
• Getting your work-life balance right is an integral part of being a modern parent.
• If you've been working for your employer for six months or more, you can request flexible work.
• Or you could learn more about how you can work remotely.

• Once he/she is up and about, you'll be surprised how soon he/she is able to rush around the house, grabbing at all those previously out-of-reach ornaments and knick-knacks!
