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. ||Make sure your baby wears a hat if she will be in a cold environment ||When giving suspension or liquid medicines, use the dosage cup enclosed in the package or a syringe ||Your toddler may be clumsy simply due to her trials to master so many new physical skills at the same time. The more active she is, the more likely she will drop things, run into things, or fall down. ||Use each feeding as an opportunity to build your newborn's sense of security, trust and comfort. ||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 ||Preservatives, fragrances, harsh soap, rough fabric, sweat, and stress can be potential irritants for babies suffering from eczema ||Most newborns need eight to 12 feedings a day — about one feeding every two to three hours ||Don't ever be afraid to ask for help from a friend or relative. Time away will let you recharge. ||Do not postpone your baby’s vaccines unless he is sick or feverish ||

Packing my bag for the hospital: What do I need?
Rate This
Written By Dr/ Mahmoud Yousry
Before the baby is born mom should prepare her bag one week to go until her due date before going to the hospital especially if the delivery was suddenly initiated (was not expected)
For the baby
  • Baby clothes (You can pack 3 sets)
  • Warm big blanket
  • Diapers:
  • Hats
  • Child restraint seats are essential for transporting your baby in a car buying one that is convertible and usable until your child reaches 10 Kg or 1 year
  • Nursing Nest Pillow: to make breast feeding comfortable for mothers especially after C- section
  • Nasal Suction Bulb. A suction bulb is essential for helping young babies with breathing difficulties caused by sticky or dried nasal secretions. A suction bulb with a blunt tip is more effective and less likely to irritate the nasal lining than the ones with long, tapered tips
  • Thermometer. A rectal thermometer is most helpful if your baby becomes sick
Things that are usually not needed
 
  • Bottles and Nipples: are not usually needed as your baby will be exclusively breast fed, unless your lactation consultant has another decision by feeding your baby formula.
  • Pacifier: are not preferred (esp. before the age of 6 weeks) as it may interfere with the mechanism of suckling from the nipple
For the mother
·         A gown, night dress or pyjamas, for sleeping and matching with breastfeeding 
·         Slippers
·         Pairs of socks
·         Underwear's
·         Nursing bras & pads
·         Towel
·         Sanitary napkins
·         Toiletries (bath napkins, toothbrush, toothpaste, bar soap, lotion, deodorant, and hairbrush)
·         Going home outfit
 

Finally do not forget your camera (and chargers) for the happy moments
