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 ever be afraid to ask for help from a friend or relative. Time away will let you recharge. ||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 ||Look for early signs of hunger, such as stirring and stretching, sucking motions and lip movements. Fussing and crying are later cues ||Exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months is the best prevention of food allergies ||Proper weight gain is the sign that your baby is having enough milk. Not crying and not comparing with other kids ||Your baby should have 4-6 wet diapers per day. This is a great way to monitor if they're getting enough milk ||Stop the continuous criticism to your teens. Highlight their qualities instead. ||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 ||In case of eczema, use mild, unscented body and laundry soaps.

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.
