A new baby in the house can stir all kinds of emotions, including jealousy felt by older brothers or sisters. Toddlers in particular may react by misbehaving, acting younger than they are or vying for your attention more than usual.

Diaper rash is an age-old problem blamed on everything from teething to diet. Pediatricians now believe it's usually caused by moisture, chafing, yeast or bacterial infections, prolonged contact with soiled diapers or allergies to diaper materials. To treat and prevent diaper rash, change diapers often, gently clean the area and let it air-dry, apply a thick layer of protective ointment and keep the diaper loose to prevent rubbing. Skip baby wipes to avoid further irritation and call your pediatrician if the rash gets worse.

Listening skills are vital to your child’s education, verbal communication and interpersonal relationships. He’ll start learning to listen as young as two when you practice and encourage these good habits: Get down on his level and make eye contact while talking. Don’t interrupt unless there’s a question. Divide listening and talking roles. Pay attention to what he says and respond with a nod or a comment. Ask him to repeat what you’ve talked about and compliment him for being a good listener.
