Babies sleep a lot at the beginning and not only during nap time

Of course, you were not always happy. Sometimes you were tired and could not fall asleep.
At other times, you were hungry, something was itching you or your diaper was not clean.
Since you could not speak then, the only way to express your unhappiness was crying.
We did lots of things to protect and soothe you.
How? What worked best? I can show you...

Splish, splash! Every now and then you had a bath

you needed a lot of help because you couldn't move on your own. Did you enjoy the water?
Or did it make you feel uncomfortable? When did you have your first bath?
And did you maybe even go swimming at an early age?

painful for the teeth to come through, but the teeth popped through your

Have a look at those tiny little teeth!

We adore the book we received for our little one. Unfortunately, it had a small tear when it arrived. Cukibo didn’t hesitate and they sent us a replacement that came in just a few days. The book is absolutely stunning, and the whole experience was so smooth.

I ordered a book for my niece, and while the first one had some damage from shipping, the replacement arrived in perfect condition. The Cukibo team was so kind and responsive. I can’t wait to order more!
