Your baby from 0 to 3 months

What tends to change

• As babies grow, they can take more at each feed, and the gaps between feeds tend to get longer.[1][2]
• Supervised tummy time while your baby is awake helps build the muscles they need for later skills.[3]
• By around 2 months, many babies smile when you talk to them and hold their head up when on their tummy.[4]
• Crying is often worse in the first few months, and it gets better.[4]
• Steady routines for sleeping and feeding help babies learn what to expect.[4]
• For every sleep, follow safe sleep guidance from your pediatrician and the AAP.[5][6]

What is useful to track

• Feeds. Bottles in ounces, nursing by side. Ask "When did she last eat?" at any hour. More: Feeding tracker.
• Sleep. "She's down." and "She's up." That is the whole sleep log. More: Sleep tracker.
• Tummy time. Log each session, so everyone can see how much she has had today.

Sharing the care

This is when many families find their shifts. Each entry shows who logged it, so the handover is the log itself.

Your Care Team can set a Goal together, like daily tummy time, and anyone can ask "Are we on track?"

Questions for the next checkup

Well-child visits are a good time to talk about growth, development, sleep and eating. It helps to bring your top questions, and anything your baby does or does not do that concerns you.[7][4]

• How are her feeds and weight looking?
• How much tummy time is right for her now?
• Is there anything she does or does not do that we should mention?
