Your Baby: 11 Months, 1 Week Old

There is no way to prevent your baby from catching many of the common viruses that are so prevalent. Hand washing and avoidance of anyone else who is sick go a long way toward keeping your baby healthy. There are some diseases that are preventable through vaccines, however, so it is very important to keep your baby up to date on his or her immunizations, including the yearly flu vaccine. #toddlers #11monthsold #mybaby #milestones #wellcheck

Your Baby: 1 Week Old

With so much going on, it can be easy to try pushing forward faster than your own body is ready to go. Whether you had a vaginal birth or a Cesarean section, birth is a challenging process for your body, and you’ll be experiencing issues related to your own recovery for at least a little while. Watch out for these warning signs that may signal a problem, and don’t hesitate to call your doctor or midwife with any questions. #newmom #newbaby #1weekold #newborn #selfcare

Babyproofing Bathrooms

Bath toys should be BPA, PVC, and phthalate-free. Squirting bath toys tend to collect bacteria within them and easily produce mold spores. Make sure the toys can be cleaned. You may be able to plug the holes with a hot glue gun. #safety #bathroom #babies #toddlers #babyproofing

Your Baby: 8 Months 1 Week Old

To your 8-month-old, anything can be a toy. From the discarded water bottle to the wooden spoon, if it makes noise, is colorful, or is an object your baby can pick up or pick at, he or she will likely do it. So it’s a good idea to focus on what your baby can safely play with and what should be off-limits. #8monthsold #8months #babies #development #milestones

Your Baby: 9 Months 2 Weeks Old

You may have heard the rule of introducing a new food type every 3-5 days. The belief behind this was that starting new foods slowly could reduce the likelihood your baby could experience a food allergy related to introducing new foods. However, several new studies have found doing this doesn’t have this effect on babies who seem to be eating new foods well. Introducing new foods faster, every 1-3 days can help to expand your child’s diet. #nutrition #solidfoods #firstfood #feeding #babies

Your Baby: 10 Weeks Old

At 10 weeks of age, the typical baby needs as much as 18 hours of sleep in every 24-hour period. Although some babies “sleep through the night” at this age, most babies at this age are still not sleeping longer than about five hours at a stretch before they need to eat again. #sleep #10weeks #10weeksold #newborns #newbaby

a baby in a laundry basket with the words is laundry deterent safe for babies?

Laundry Detergent Safety

For most babies, using regular laundry detergent and mixing their clothes with yours is just fine. If you usually use a strong smelling detergent consider one that is fragrance and dye free to decrease the chance your baby will react negatively toward the detergent. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when it comes to washing cloth diapers and always wash them separately from the family’s clothing. #laundry #babies #safety #pediatrics #detergent

Opioids cross the placenta barrier easily. Newborns exposed to opioids are at risk for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms. Doctors usually try to avoid giving more opiates to a newborn. Support for the mom is critical. #opioidaddiction #newborns #treatmentoptions #opioids #pediatrics
