Tips For Keeping Your Baby Healthy and Safe by Babies 411
Here are some key points to remember to help keep your baby healthy and safe. Remember, newborns, preemies, and young infants are very susceptible to illness.
Be sure to:
* Wash your hands frequently when caring for your little one (especially after going to the bathroom and changing diapers).
* Make sure all visitors wash their hands prior to touching your baby.
* Make sure visitors are not ill when coming to visit.
* Avoid large crowds for at least 1 month after your baby is born.
Help protected your baby from accidental injury.
Be sure to:
* Always place your baby in an appropriate car seat when traveling in any vehicle.
* Never leave baby unattended (especially in the car, bathtub, changing table, or on any other elevated area).
* Always keep one hand on your baby when in the bathtub, on the changing table, or on any elevated area.
* Never shake your baby. Shaken baby syndrome can cause blindness, brain damage or death.
* Place baby on his/her back to sleep to reduce the likelihood of sudden infant death syndrome.
* Always test the temperature of the water before giving a bath.
* Use a non-skid mat in the bathtub.
* Never prop a bottle when feeding your baby.
* Never place pacifier on a string around baby’s neck.
* Check pacifiers and nipples for holes and tears frequently.
* Always test the temperature of breast milk/formula prior to feeding your baby.
* Never leave pets or young children alone with your baby.
* Ensure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly.
* Do not carry infant when you are cooking or holding hot drinks.
* Make sure that your baby’s toys are unbreakable.
* Remove toys from the crib when your baby is sleeping or unattended.
* Never give an infant under 1 year of age honey. Honey has been associated with botulism.

# 1’s $3.39 Mariah Carey’s #1’s is as much a time capsule of ’90s pop and R&B as a record of one woman’s chart toppers: the disc chronicles a shift from the sweet, nearly ’50s-style “Vision of Love” to more recent hip-hop-lite grooves featuring heavy input from Puffy Combs (“Honey”), Jermaine Dupri (“Sweetheart”), and O.D.B. (“Fantasy”). Some hit, some miss, but all feature the fluttery swoops that Carey subs… |
