1. The rivalry between brothers in the same house.

It is not surprising that babies often quarrel and fight with each other during this period. All children want to gain the attention of their parents as well as assert themselves. Conflict between siblings at this young age will help children learn how to resolve conflicts, negotiate and compromise. It was no fun, however, and the struggles seemed to show no sign of stopping.
If your baby has older siblings then you will definitely have to play the referee. When children fight, experts advise that it's best to try to let them work things out on their own, and that you should only provide the necessary guidance. You should avoid defending or taking sides with one of the children, or trying to figure out who did the wrong thing in this argument, as this often makes the kids even angrier. Compromise is a good goal.
If she has to share her feelings with a younger sibling at this age, she may become irritable, cry, clingy and nag very childishly demanding. The main reason is that the baby wants to get more attention from the mother. So please be patient and take care of me a lot so that I can understand that you still care and give me a lot of love.

2. Health and safety information

2.1. Baby bath tips Most children love bathing because this is the time when they can experience playing with soap, shampoo or bath oil. If your baby doesn't like the bath, then you may not have paid attention to creating an enjoyable experience space for him when bathing.
Remember that the bathroom is a dangerous place for toddlers, and you need to minimize those risks so that your baby can experience a pleasant and safe space. Rule
1 is never leave your baby alone in the tub, even though he's older and can sit and play some independent games.
Always check the water temperature before putting your baby in the bath or shower. You can help prevent scalds during both bathing and hand washing by setting your home water heater to a moderate temperature that's not too hot.
Bathtubs can also be very slippery for both the baby and the mother. Use anti-slip pads or mats on the bottom of the tub to prevent your baby from slipping and prevent falls. Include an extra mat/towel next to the tub to support your knees when you bend over to wash your child's hair and he or she can also rest his feet on the mat/towel when he gets out of the tub to prevent slipping .

2.2. Healthy Eating Habits Taking care of the whole family, and especially a toddler, takes a lot of energy and takes time. It's not easy for you when you have to cook for picky people, whether it's your baby or your husband.
To enhance nutrition for your baby and the whole family, plan meals and snacks each week. Take advantage of healthy frozen foods like fruits, vegetables, and even pre-prepared meals. You can buy some healthy snacks and eat them from time to time for entertainment like watching a movie or a little hungry. Please be sure to check the product label before purchasing.
Eating healthier doesn't mean being deprived and abstaining. If you're maintaining a good diet, you can occasionally treat yourself and your baby with a few jars of frozen yogurt or a slice of birthday cake. You just need to control them to a moderate degree.
Overall, remember that you are being a role model for your child. Your child will imitate your good habits, and that is a great motivation for you to take better care of yourself but also to teach him good habits for him later.
