The AAP recommends sponge baths until the umbilical cord stump falls off — which might take up to three weeks ||When your infant is carried, he should be oriented toward the carrying adult ||Do not postpone your baby’s vaccines unless he is sick or feverish ||Don’t forget to put labels with date and time on your expressed milk bottles to check expiry dates ||Try to keep other elements of your baby's routine as normal as possible during the strike. ||If you have trouble emptying your breast, apply warm compresses to the breast or take a warm shower before breast-feeding ||Infants raised on breast milk tend to score higher on tests of mental development than those on formula ||You'll develop a unique parenting style that is right for your family and may be quite different from your neighbors and friends. ||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 ||Excessive warmth and overdressing are as harmful as cold weather. Temperature inside your home should not exceed 23 degrees ||
