It’s never too early to read for your child ||Look for early signs of hunger, such as stirring and stretching, sucking motions and lip movements. Fussing and crying are later cues ||Don’t forget to put labels with date and time on your expressed milk bottles to check expiry dates ||When giving suspension or liquid medicines, use the dosage cup enclosed in the package or a syringe ||Ask your baby's doctor about vitamin D supplements for the baby, especially if you're breast-feeding ||Set aside time to spend with each child individually, so they don't feel like they're competing for your attention ||Colostrum is rich with all what baby needs for the first 2-3 days till the breast begins to produce milk ||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 ||Your baby should have 4-6 wet diapers per day. This is a great way to monitor if they're getting enough milk ||Use each feeding as an opportunity to build your newborn's sense of security, trust and comfort. ||

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.
