Newborn behaviour: an overview
Newborn behaviour – it’s all about cuddling, sleeping, feeding and lots of crying. It isn’t possible to ‘spoil’ a newborn by responding when she cries. Every bit of attention you give now helps your baby grow and develop.

Optimal infant nutrition from 7 to 9 months

Recommendations for physical activity, sedentary screen time and sleep for the child in the first year of life
A healthy life and proper habit formation require an adequate distribution of overall daily activities, which can be viewed as a time of physical activity (of light, moderate or vigorous intensity), sleep and time that a child spends sitting (sedentary time).

Practical ways to keep your preschooler safe include a family media plan, child-friendly search engines, reviews, privacy settings and parental controls.
It’s important to go online with your child, role-model safe internet use, and teach your child about good and bad content.

General recommendations for children with weight loss
Weight loss (or insufficient weight gain), of varying degrees, can occur at any time in a child's life, and is most often a result of illness and/or malnutrition. Appropriate meal preparation, offering high-quality food more frequently and a parent-child relationship in accordance with the child's needs will make it possible to gradually compensate for the loss (insufficient gain).

Optimal infant nutrition from 10 to 12 months
If you offer your child a large selection of healthy and quality foods from the beginning, it is a sure way for him/her to adopt healthy eating habits that will accompany him/her throughout the life. Nutrition and feeding are far more than nutrient intake; it is an opportunity to support many aspects of a child's development.
