Your baby is about to turn 1, and a year ago he was still in your arms. It's amazing how much he can do now. The milestones of this age group are getting longer and longer, even though he's already walking and talking. To encourage your baby's growth, remember that every child develops at a different pace and you should do everything you can. Your baby will reach these milestones when he's ready, all you need to do is provide him with adequate nutrition and be there for him when he falls.

The first time your baby gets a cold, fever, or stomachache can be very worrying. Knowing the symptoms of some common childhood illnesses and learning how to deal with them can make caring for your baby easier.
