During growth spurts - around 6 weeks after birth — your newborn might want to be fed more often ||Excessive warmth and overdressing are as harmful as cold weather. Temperature inside your home should not exceed 23 degrees ||Put a photo of a face – yours – on the side of the cot for your baby to look at. Human faces fascinate babies ||The only acceptable punishment for our children is time-out. No spanking, no shouting and no threatening ||To help your kid stand up to negative peer pressure, encourage him to talk, use role playing with him, get to know the parents of your child's friends and finally deal with your own peer pressure. ||Make sure your baby wears a hat if she will be in a cold environment ||Use each feeding as an opportunity to build your newborn's sense of security, trust and comfort. ||Bathe baby for no more than ten minutes in warm water especially if he shows signs of skin eczema. ||Never tie a pacifier to your child’s crib or around your child’s neck or hand. This could cause serious injury or even death ||By rising the temperature, the body can stop a virus's ability to grow. That's why we get fevers ||

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.
