When to Seek Medical Advice:
Consult a doctor if your baby:

Tips to Parents:
- Limit Screen Time: Avoid exposing them to screens and instead engage them with sounds and voices.
- Provide Toys: Offer a variety of toys to encourage exploration and cause and effect learning.
- Immunizations: Ensure they receive vaccinations on time to protect against illnesses.
- Hygiene: Keep the environment clean but don't overly sanitize, as some exposure to germs can strengthen their immune system.

accidents.
