What Is It? Marfan syndrome is a genetic (inherited) disorder that affects the body's connective tissue. Connective tissue is the tough, fibrous, elastic tissue that connects one part of the body with another. It is a major part of tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage and the walls of large blood vessels.
Your baby's first step toward mobility isn't actually a step at all -- it's a roll. When she's about 2 or 3 months old, she may flip from front to back. During tummy time (which you should supervise), your baby may lift herself into a push-up position and then start to rock back and forth or kick her feet. Then, if she's strong enough, those movements will send her rolling over.
To protect your child, keep them rear-facing for as long as possible, at least until age 2. The old â1 year and 20lbsâ milestone is no longer the recommended standard. Unfortunately, it takes time for state laws to catch up with best practice safety recommendations.
