Parents Magazine "magic window"

I subscribe to Parents Magazine and found this month's issue interesting to share. The article is about finding the right magic window timeframe to transition your baby...

Here's some rough guidelines the article highlighted (roughly paraphrased):

2-4 weeks: give a bottle to a breadtfed baby

4-6 months : get baby to sleep through the night ie., sleep train baby to fall asleep in his own

7-9 months : use a sippy cup

Around 6 months : start solids

12-18 months : introduce a lovey ie a soft blanket, stuffed animal to help with separation anxiety

12-23 months : take away the pacifier

2-1/2 to 3 years: move from crib to a bed

2-1/2 to 3 years : potty train

3 to 5 years : end naptime

5 to 7 years : take off the training wheels from bicycle

6 to 7 years : bathe by herself
