One look at the grocery store shelves tells you buying water isn't as simple as it used to be. You may see bottles labeled as artesian water, mineral water, soda water, distilled water and purified water – and have no idea what the differences are or which ones are right for you and your family.

Thumbsucking is a natural reflex for babies, but as kids get older, it can affect teeth alignment and proper growth of the mouth. If your child still sucks his thumb by the time his permanent front teeth are ready to come in, help him kick the habit by praising him for not sucking, rather than scolding him when he does. Remind him not to suck by putting a bandage or sock on his hand at night. Ask your pediatrician to prescribe a bitter medication to coat the thumb.

Applying for your baby’s Social Security number may be the last thing on your mind, but the Social Security Administration recommends it at birth. It is voluntary, free and will allow you to claim your child as a dependent on your income tax return, obtain medical coverage for her, buy savings bonds in her name and open a bank account for her. You can apply at the same time you apply for your baby’s birth certificate or apply later at a Social Security office.
