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 ||Don’t forget to put labels with date and time on your expressed milk bottles to check expiry dates ||After the first hectic weeks, babies take longer naps at predictable times. And you'll become a much better time manager ||Don't let your baby nap in the car seat after you're home as a substitute for crib since it's harder for young babies to breathe in that position. ||In case of eczema, use mild, unscented body and laundry soaps. Pat baby's skin dry; don't rub ||Don't allow your pet on the couch while you are holding baby. This makes dogs bigger and taller in relation to your infant and may encourage aggression. ||Every milestone is an accomplishment, but it means your child is more independent and needs you a little less ||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 ||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 ||Expressing milk should be painless. If it hurts, stop. ||

You should offer your child water freely as much as he/she wants. Some children prefer to drink sweetened beverages. This is not advised and might be harmful on the long term.

 

Generally, offer your child the same water you are drinking.

 

If you are giving your child bottled water, review the fluoride content of the water. Fluoride is a mineral needed to prevent dental caries and is a component of our bones. Your child needs a minimum of 0.3mg/liter if his/her age is 6 months to 3 years, 0.65mg/liter if his/her age is 3 to 16 years. If your child's drinking water contains fluorides less than what was just defined, ask your doctor or call 2356 for fluoride supplementation advice.
