Taking Care Of Your Baby And Their Health
Taking Care Of Your Baby And Their HealthAuthor: Alisha DhamaniTo begin with, bathing your newborn baby for the first time is one of the sweetest and, for some, one of the most anxiety-provoking milestones of parenthood. Although you may be nervous at first, you will soon grow confident and competent as you learn what works best for you and your baby. Until your baby starts crawling on the floor, a daily bath is not necessary. As long as adequate cleansing is done during diaper changes and after feedings, a bath 2 or 3 times a week in the precrawling months will keep your baby fresh smelling and presentable. Some parents feel bathing just before bedtime helps create a more relaxed state conducive to sleep. It is best to avoid baths just after or just before a meal, because so much handling on a full tummy could result in spitting up, and baby may not be cooperative on an empty stomach.
Give your baby time for the bath, so it need not be hurried, and you won't be tempted to leave baby unattended even for a second to take care of something else. Turn on the telephone answering machine or simply plan on not answering the phone during the bath time. If you must leave the room, take the baby with you. We suggest you give your baby a sponge bath until the umbilical cord and circumcision, if one was performed, are healed (a couple of weeks, more or less), baby should not be submerged in water because it increases the risk of infection.

Mesothelioma Law - A SummaryMesothelioma Law - A SummaryAuthor: Loni LoveSadly, the nature and location of mesothelioma and asbestosis make an early diagnosis difficult, if not impossible. Most victims of mesothelioma do not have any medical options by the time they have been diagnosed. This aggressive disease can be treated by chemotherapy, radiation, and other standard cancer regimens, but it is most often progressive and fatal. |
