Holiday shopping with a toddler doesn't have to be stressful. Try these tips: Go in the morning when she's less likely to be cranky. Give her regular breaks from the stroller or shopping cart to let off steam. Bring water and healthy snacks like nuts, raisins or granola bars to keep her energy up, and disposable wipes for cleaning hands. Tell her the store rules and enforce them. Remind her to use her soft "public" voice when she needs something.
You usually know instinctively if your baby is healthy, but comparing her growth to "normal" guidelines is a good way to help put your mind at ease. Many babies grow a half inch to an inch per month between birth and six months. In that same period, babies can gain five to seven ounces per week. Between six months and a year, she'll probably grow about three-eighths inch per month and gain three to five ounces per week. It's normal for her to double her birth height and triple her birth weight by her first birthday.

Refrigeration of Nursery® Water is not required prior to or after opening. Always make sure to replace the cap after opening and put the unused portion aside on a kitchen counter.

Q: My daughter is 17 weeks pregnant and she just sent me an email saying that when she had a bowel movement there was blood. What should she do? I don't know if she strained or what.
Dear Kimberly, Please encourage your daughter to contact her healthcare provider. Rectal bleeding during pregnancy may be caused by hemorrhoids and is usually not a sign of a serious problem. However, it could be. Therefore, it's important that your daughter schedules an exam with the doctor soon. Q: How much water can I give my 2 month old baby?
It is not necessary to give your newborn plain water. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies consume a diet exclusively of breast milk or formula for the first 4 to 6 months of life. When your infant has transitioned to solid foods, you may introduce small amounts of water – a few sips at a time – to help establish a lifelong healthy habit. Q: Does using a filter remove fluoride from tap water? I have a 3 month old and I pour the water to mix with her formula through this before preparation. Please let me know since fluoride in take is important for children.
Kelly, Some filters may not remove fluoride from municipal water. Please refer to the filter manufacturer's website for more information; that information could vary by brand and model. It may be difficult to determine the level of fluoride in municipal water that has been filtered unless it is tested. With Nursery, you know that you are getting a pure drinking wtaer with up to 0.7ppm of fluoride. Q: Hello My son is 3 months, 3 weeks old. He is on formula so I give him plain bottled water 2 times a day. It's about 2oz per day. My question is that when should I give my baby food? Please let me know.
Dear Purvi, The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies consume a diet exclusively of breast milk or formula for the first 4 to 6 months of life. Since your baby is almost 4 months, check with your pediatrician as to when he should start solid food. |
