Use a firm mattress and avoid placing your baby on thick, fluffy padding that may interfere with breathing if your baby's face presses against it ||Until your baby is 6 months old, he'll get all the hydration he needs from breast milk or formula, even in hot weather ||Only close friends and relatives should visit you during your first month at home. They should not visit if they are sick ||Whenever possible, don't get involved in your kids' clash. Step in only if there's a danger of physical harm. ||Toddler's appetite may change almost daily. Let her be the judge of how much she needs and wants to eat. ||Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently. It’s not the type of soap that prevents the spread of bacteria and viruses; it’s how you wash your hands. ||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 ||If you have trouble emptying your breast, apply warm compresses to the breast or take a warm shower before breast-feeding ||Never pick up your infant by the hands or wrists as this can put stress on the elbows. Lifting under the armpits is the safest way ||Put a photo of a face – yours – on the side of the cot for your baby to look at. Human faces fascinate babies ||
