Useful Health Tips

If your baby is 6 months or older you can give them healthy things to chew on e.g. crusts of bread or raw carrot. Avoid foods that contain lots of sugar, as this can cause tooth decay, even if you child only has a few teeth. However make sure the child is sitting upright at lall times and that you stay with the child to ensure that they do not choke.
