If your child comes down with a rash, do some investigative works on your own before you spend money on hefty doctor’s fees. Ask yourself: Did you just change laundry detergents? Was she teething (that she bites or put everything on her mouth) which produces diarrhea which triggers the rashes? Many rashes are simple reactions to a new food, lotion, and some gets reaction when the weather changed.
If your answers are “no” to the above questions, or your child’s rash is accompanied with a sore throat or joint pain, then it is the time to call your doctor.
In case you knew already that your child’s skin is so sensitive, or your child has an allergy from a certain food, products and more, don’t let him/her eat that food, or don’t let him/her use that product, and if ever you forgot about his/her allergy, then you should always have a medicine or lotion for allergies in your medicine kit.
It is the parents responsibility to take care of the baby. The baby’s first year is the best time to prepare him or her for a happy future. Thus parents should know the proper steps to follow in caring for a newborn and what his or her needs are. A newborn baby sleeps most of the time. Enough sleep and rest is needed for physical health. Since the baby sleeps a lot, he/she should be placed in a crib protected from mosquitoes and other insects.
To prevent diaper rush, make sure that the baby is always clean and dry. Be careful in changing the baby’s diaper. If the baby has had a loose bowel movement, do not remove the diaper at once but fold the soiled portion under. Wipe the anus with moistened cotton, and then wash with soap and water. Babies should feed with the recommended amount of prepared milk products. There are many powdered milk good for infants although mother’s milk is still the best for the baby.
My daughter is one source of my happiness. Four days ago, another addition of month for her age journey. My baby love daughter is not newborn no more. She's already half a year old now. She grow-up fast. She even won't fit to her other little basin when letting her sit there. Her other little basin by the way, is what I use doing her last step of bathing as I put her in her pinky tub. With her sitting in a pinky tub outside the big tub (I am not comfortable putting her pinky tub in our big tub), there's always an amount of water which contains soup especially on her bottom and such. With that, I have to give her the last pours in a little (well, not so little) pinky plastic basin. Since she won't fit sitting in that pinky basin for her last pours, I just let her stand and do the thing.
Aside from she increases her height, she increase her weight too. I am just being proud of myself being patient of giving her milk so she won't get hungry even if takes more time than others. She's just a "hard-eater" as I say, since she's hard to please to drink. Sometimes, I let her hungry so she's excited to drink.
What about yours? How's everything there in your end?
My baby love Sam was being mixed on her milk when she was in the hospital. That was one and a half month. She drank my breast-milk. I pumped out hard so she can have my breast-milk. Breast-milk is best for babies so I made sure she got it. When she was home, I formula-feed her. Yes, all formula. Why? I have a lot of reasons (I give out my important decision after weighing both sides) and the latter won. No regrets. She wasn't been sick because I formula-feed her all.
Anyway, formula or breast-milk mix, she eats not a lot. Just enough and her doctor is okay with it. That's the important word I got and nothing else. As long as she is not sickly and all because of formula-all, that's all that matters. She is not fat infant which I want her to be, but since want is just a second of "like", and you now found the answer. :-)
She drinks not quite a lot and it's fine (not just from my thought but also from her doctor's thought). I give more of strength than standard babies who likes drinking their milk, but am fine. It's just that it's just the way it is. And I like when they said "you did a great job!" . :-) Who wouldn't like that!? Don't you? Smile. :-)
