• The average weight of a 2-month-old baby girl is 5 kilos; the average boy at 2 months weighs in at 6 kilos.
• Height averages are 22.5 inches for girls and 23 inches for boys.
• Your baby's growing quickly, and getting stronger every day. Her head control is continuing to develop, and she may now be able to hold her head up for a few seconds as she gazes in wonder at the world around her.
• You may notice that your baby is suddenly fascinated by her own hands. Being able to understand that they're a part of her, and that she can control them, is the first stage in her ability to reach out and grasp things.

When it comes to washing baby clothes, regular detergent can irritate your baby's sensitive skin and leave the clothes feeling rough. You need a gentle laundry detergent that's soft on your baby's clothes, has bio-enzymes and is toxin-free. Try Mylo Baby Liquid Detergent , which:

• Removes stains & germs.
• Keeps color & softness intact.
• Has no harmful chemicals.
• Has anti-bacterial ingredients.

Common questions you might want to ask your pediatrician

• Your baby's first immunizations are due this month, and you're bound to have questions. For example, what vaccinations will you be offered and when? What will happen on the day? Can your baby be immunized if she’s got a cold or a cough?
• You may also have some anxieties about your baby having injections.
• It's only natural to be concerned, and you may even wonder whether it's safe for your baby to be immunized at all.

Hand Puppet Play:

• Place a puppet on your hand. Move puppet up and down, while saying baby’s name. See if he can follow the movement. Then move the puppet in a circle.
• As soon as he is able to follow the movement, try different movements. Helps baby develop vision skills.
