*A Tip From Grandma Mary

Be sure to have your babies birthday party at the most convenient time in your babies schedule.

When your baby will be awake and with plenty of time before the next feeding.

Keep the party to about an hour or an hour and a half, plan some party games and activities that the adults can play with their child. And leave plenty of time for everyone to chat and enjoy a few snacks.

Remember your other children
