Safe Nursery: This is where your baby spends most of the time of her childhood. Make sure to make it a safe haven for her. You must have a standard fixed side baby crib in the nursery that meets ASTM International and U.S. CPSC safety standards.
Almost all baby likes to chew the rail of the crib. So, make sure finishes of the crib is lead & phthalate safe. Also, avoid ‘drop-side’ crib even if you are a ‘shortie’ to minimize the chance of SIDS.

If you can make her eating vegetables on a regular basis, her immune system will develop a lot. You can let her eating with her own hand and make sure her hands are always clean while eating. That way, your baby can get rid of some common childhood diseases.

Very good points I like that you mentioned starting with vegetables instead of fruit it seems to be a mistake most parents do as when we are young we tend to love sweet things more and therefore when we are given both we will dislike the vegetables and due to this mentality when we are young this habit may stay with us when we grow up.
