The early years

After your baby is born, as your child starts to grow, you may want information on how to look after your child in the early years up to the age of five.  Information on introducing your baby to solid feeds, developmental milestones, physical, social and emotional development, behaviour, toileting, immunisations, how to play and interact with your child, managing your child’s behaviour, how to treat minor illnesses and infections.  This information can be obtained from the birth to five book available online at http://www.publichealth.hscni.net/publications/birth-five or speak to your named family health visitor for advice.
