Use each feeding as an opportunity to build your newborn's sense of security, trust and comfort. ||AAP recommends to avoid blankets (a potential suffocation hazard) until your baby reaches her first birthday ||Ask your baby's doctor about vitamin D supplements for the baby, especially if you're breast-feeding ||Toddler's appetite may change almost daily. Let her be the judge of how much she needs and wants to eat. ||Your toddler may be clumsy simply due to her trials to master so many new physical skills at the same time. The more active she is, the more likely she will drop things, run into things, or fall down. ||The pacifier’s guard or shield should have ventilation holes so the baby can breathe if the shield does get into the mouth ||If your child's scalp is very crusty, put some baby oil or olive oil on the scalp 1 hour before washing to soften the crust ||The most important thing on growth curves is how your baby grows over time. If he's small but growing at the appropriate rate, there's usually no cause for concern. ||Don’t forget to put labels with date and time on your expressed milk bottles to check expiry dates ||The more you help your toddler put his feelings into words (“I’m mad. I want the truck.” “I’m sad. I can’t find my bear.”), the less they will show aggressive behaviour. ||

Iron-Fortified Formula may be associated with Neurodevelopmental Delays for Healthy Infants

 

In healthy, well-nourished infants without anemia, the use of high-iron (12 mg/L ferrous sulfate) vs low-iron (2.3 mg/L ferrous sulfate) formula for 1 year after age 6 months is associated with significantly lower scores on spatial memory and visuomotor integration at 10 years and potentially lower scores for IQ, visual perception, and motor coordination.

 

In infants who are iron-sufficient in the first year of life, use of a high-iron vs a low-iron formula for 1 year from age 6 months is associated with a significantly lower IQ score (by 11 points) at 10 years.
