← All guidesNIMO STAGE GUIDE
Baby care from 0–12 months
The first year changes quickly. Prioritise safety, the baby's follow-up plan, and questions for clinicians instead of chasing a perfect schedule.
✓ Source-backed guidance on safe sleep, feeding, vaccination, development, and when a baby needs medical care.
01
Start with these five
Five guides selected for this stage, so you do not have to sort through everything first.
Baby essentials: buy less, prepare better
Choose around the care your household actually provides, rather than an endless shopping list.
Your baby's vaccination visit, from the night before to home again
Share the information that matters, comfort your baby and leave with aftercare instructions you can actually use.
Starting solids: a plan with room for learning
Recognize readiness, include iron, introduce allergens and build variety without making every spoonful a target.
Playing through the first year: conversations before words
From faces and sounds to finding and filling: play with the skills your baby has, not drills to get ahead.
Keep these four things ready
- ✓Vaccination record and next appointment
- ✓A working thermometer
- ✓Clinician, paediatric, and 115 contacts
- ✓A firm, flat sleep space without soft items
