This Month's Stage Shelf · September 2026

0–6 months

September on the 0–6 shelf is small and repeatable: night feeds that still run the clock, tummy time in short honest bursts, and one change-table wipe that doesn’t shred when you’re half awake. That’s the month. Nothing else to prove.

Three focus notes

  1. Night feeds, same chair. Keep the water bottle and burp cloth where your hand already goes. Same chair, same lamp notch, fewer decisions at 3 a.m. You’re not building a perfect night — you’re reducing the scavenger hunt.

  2. Tummy time in pockets. Two or three short floor pockets beat one heroic session that ends in tears. A rolled towel under the chest, your face on the rug, done when they’re done.

  3. Change-table calm. Fragrance-light wipes you already trust, cream only if the skin asks, spare onesie on the rail. The goal is a clean bottom and a dry shirt — not a spa routine.
