Tips For Keeping Your Baby Healthy and Safe

Here are some key points to remember to help keep your baby healthy and safe. Remember, newborns, preemies, and young infants are very susceptible to illness. Be sure to:

* Wash your hands frequently when caring for your little one (especially after going to the bathroom and changing diapers).
* Make sure all visitors wash their hands prior to touching your baby.
* Make sure visitors are not ill when coming to visit.
* Avoid large crowds for at least 1 month after your baby is born.

Help protected your baby from accidental injury. Be sure to:

* Always place your baby in an appropriate car seat when traveling in any vehicle.
* Never leave baby unattended (especially in the car, bathtub, changing table, or on any other elevated area).
* Always keep one hand on your baby when in the bathtub, on the changing table, or on any elevated area.
* Never shake your baby. Shaken baby syndrome can cause blindness, brain damage or death.
* Place baby on his/her back to sleep to reduce the likelihood of sudden infant death syndrome.
* Always test the temperature of the water before giving a bath.
* Use a non-skid mat in the bathtub.
* Never prop a bottle when feeding your baby.
* Never place pacifier on a string around baby’s neck.
* Check pacifiers and nipples for holes and tears frequently.
* Always test the temperature of breast milk/formula prior to feeding your baby.
* Never leave pets or young children alone with your baby.
* Ensure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly.
* Do not carry infant when you are cooking or holding hot drinks.
* Make sure that your baby’s toys are unbreakable.
* Remove toys from the crib when your baby is sleeping or unattended.
* Never give an infant under 1 year of age honey. Honey has been associated with botulism.

My wife and I had a baby last year and I am wondering what I can write off. Can I write off all the hospital bills? How about baby food, diapers, crib, stuff for the baby? Anything else? Thanks!

    I have no clue why, I think it's disguisting and that everyone should be informed about it!

    No new fetal tissue is used to produce vaccines. Cell lines generated from a single fetal tissue source are sometimes used for some vaccines. Vaccine manufacturers obtain human cell lines from FDA-certified cell banks.

    Fetal Tissue and Vaccines. Some vaccines such as rubella and varicella are made from human cell-line cultures, and some of these cell lines originated from aborted fetal tissue, obtained from legal abortions in the 1960s. No new fetal tissue is needed to produce cell lines to make these vaccines, now or in the future.

    My daughter volunteers at a local reptile rescue center and one of the first things she learned was it's never a good idea to feed a pet reptile any live prey from outside. You don't know what they have been exposed to…chemicals, parasites, etc…

    Medical expenses out of pocket, all the other stuff is not deductible

    Medical Expenses are Itemized Deductions, they must exceed 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income.

    Your total Itemized deductions must exceed the Standard Deduction amount of $10,300.00 to be beneficial to itemize

    You can't really tell until it is older, in about a week. When that happens, the sparrow should be getting darker colors and a few streaks of gray on its head. The finch, (depending one what kind) will get some feathers of brown and other streaks of color.

    I can't keep anything on the ground. I mean, seriously, I feel like I have a puppy… Anything left on the ground, she will get to and destroy.

    For instance, she's colored the walls with lipstick, colored the leather sofas with white deodorant, put a number of things in the toilet, and she just tries to eat anything and everything… She also recently broke our TV remote, which was her favorite "toy"… haha

    So, mostly I've just had to pile everything on the table and TV, etc. She's not even walking yet (10 months), so it'll be exciting once that happens.

    I think you need to understand the difference between offering tips and advice and demanding they be accepted and implemented.
    As with any new thing we do in life those that have experience offer advice. However these bits of information come from many people (all with good intentions) and it is up to the person doing the learning to decide what is important to them.

    Keep up the good work Grandma but let the new parents decide.

    No, you do not.

    If people have more than one shower for the same baby it's generally because two totally different groups host one(i.e. one for family and another for coworkers). They shouldn't be inviting the same people over and over!

    As soon as my little one was eating the 2 stage foods…I gave her the Gerber beef and what not. I don't think there is anything wrong with giving it to her now.

    Gerber makes it in 2nd stage foods for a reason…if it wasn't good for them…why would they make it for that stage? I trust Gerber for the most part.
