Trim your baby’s nails weekly after a bath when the nails are softened ||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's foot may seem flat, but that's because a layer of fat covers the arch.

They should not visit if they are sick ||Contact the doctor if your newborn isn't gaining weight, wets fewer than six diapers a day or shows little interest in feedings ||Never pick up your infant by the hands or wrists as this can put stress on the elbows. Lifting under the armpits is the safest way ||Massaging infants' arms and hands can significantly reduce their pain from needle sticks ||During the day, don't try to catch up on chores while the baby sleeps.

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.
