7. Wordy directions, positions • Many caregivers lay the baby across their knees. • Others hold the baby across their chests with the baby’s head above their shoulders. • Put a towel or cloth under the baby’s head to catch any liquid that comes out

8. How to breast feed • Position the baby on her side so she is directly facing you, with her belly touching yours. Next, prop up the baby with a pillow, if necessary, and hold her up to your breast; don't lean over toward her.

9. How to breast feed Football • While useful for all women, this position is particularly helpful for mothers who have had a Cesarean section. Place your baby on a pillow, tucked close to your side. Rest your arm on the pillow to bring your baby's mouth up to your breast; support her head with your hand. • This position is also helpful if you had a C-section or want to rest while nursing your baby. Lie on the side you will be breastfeeding on. Place your head on a pillow and draw your baby in close to you, using your arm to support her bottom. Use your other hand to bring your breast up to baby's mouth.

10. How to breast feed • Place your thumb and fingers around your areola (see step a). • Tilt your baby's head back slightly and tickle her lips with your nipple until she opens her mouth wide (see step b). • Help her "scoop" the breast into her mouth by placing her lower jaw on first, well below the nipple (see step c). • Tilt her head forward, placing her upper jaw deeply on the breast. Make sure she takes the entire nipple and at least 1 1/2 inches of the areola in her mouth

11. How to breast feed • THE HOLDS • 1. Cradle • Position your baby on your forearm, her head in the crook of your arm. Support her bottom with your other hand. Pull her in close to you, belly to belly, with her ear, shoulder and hip in a straight line.

12. How to diaper a baby • a clean diaper or two, something to wipe baby with, and a flat surface. If you use cloth diapers, you'll need a clean diaper cover or waterproof pants (and pins). If your baby has diaper rash or is less than a month old, have cotton balls or squares, warm water, and a towel handy. • Wash your hands and place your baby on the changing table or a flat surface. Use the safety straps, or make sure to keep one hand on the baby so he doesn't roll off. Never leave your baby unattended, even for a minute. If he wiggles a lot, distract him with a mobile or a brightly colored toy. Undo the dirty diaper, hold your baby's legs with one hand and use the other hand to pull down the front of the diaper. Don't remove it just yet.

13. How to diaper a baby • First, use the front part of the diaper to help wipe your baby -- wiping from front to back to avoid a urinary tract infection. Then use a mild wipe or wet washcloth to clean baby -- again wiping from front to back. For a newborn or baby with diaper rash, use cotton balls or squares and warm water. Pat baby's bottom dry. If you have a boy, keep a clean diaper over his penis while you're changing him so he doesn't urinate on you. • Lift baby's legs and slide the dirty diaper out. Hold your baby's legs to keep him from touching the messy diaper. Slide a clean diaper underneath your baby. On a disposable diaper, the adhesive tabs go in back and should be about belly-button level. Pull the front up between baby's legs. For a boy, make sure his penis is pointing down so he doesn't pee out of the top of his diaper.

14. How to diaper a baby • Close the tabs on a disposable diaper or pin the corners of a cloth diaper together. Make the diaper snug, but be sure you can place two fingers between the diaper and baby's waist. With a newborn, fold the top of the diaper down so that the umbilical stump is exposed. Or use a newborn diaper with a cutout for the stump. • What do you do with the old diaper? With cloth diapers, shake any solid waste into the toilet before tossing into the diaper pail. Some parents do this with disposables, too. With a disposable, tape it up and put it in the trash or diaper pail. Some parents put them in a plastic bag or zipper-top bag first. For cloth diapers, store in a dry or wet diaper pail until ready to wash.

15. How to diaper a baby • Many moms and dads find that diaper changes are a great time to connect with their babies. After all, you're leaning over your baby, touching, and talking or cooing to him or her. Your baby is looking up at you and listening to your voice. Take some time to sing a song or play peek-a-boo. Although some diaper changes will have to be done quickly, when you have a few minutes, try to enjoy the ritual.

16. reflexes • At birth, the infant’s physical abilities are limited to reflexes. A reflex is an automatic body response to a stimulus. The person does not control this response.

17. Rooting • The infant’s reflexes are needed for survival. This reflex causes infants to turn their heads toward anything that brushes their faces. This action helps them find a food source as a nipple. Once an object is near an infant’s lips or cheek, a rooting response will be triggered. The infants head and mouth will move toward the stimulus. This reflex helps the child search for something to suck. It usually disappears by three to four months of age.

18. Palmar grasp • Easy to observe. When you touch the infants palms, the hands will grip tightly. The grip is tight enough that you can lift the infants into a sitting position. Don’t try this since the infant has no control over the response, they might let go. Can also been seen if a rattle or another object is placed across the palm. Weakens after the first 3 or 4 months after birth. Disappears totally late in the 1st year.

19. Moro • Sometimes referred to as the “startle reflex”. It occurs when a newborn is startled by a noise or sudden movement. The infants will react by flinging the arms and legs outward and extending the head. Will quickly draw the arms together, crying loudly. Peaks during the 1st month and usually disappears by 6 months.

20. babinski • Present at birth in babies who were born at full term. To test for this reflex, stroke the sole of the foot on the outside from the heel to the toe. The toes will fan out and curl and the foot twists in. usually lasts for the 1st year after birth.

21. stepping • Can be observed in full-term babies. When an infant is held so the feet are flat on a surface, the infant will lift one foot after another in a stepping motion. Usually disappears after birth. Infants learn to step voluntarily late in the 1st year.

22. Failure To Thrive • The diagnosis of failure to thrive (FTT) requires a careful assessment of growth parameters (weight, length/height, and head circumference) over time. • The condition requires a comprehensive evaluation as both medical and psychosocial problems may contribute. • Extensive medical tests are, however, generally not indicated, unless suggested by the history or exam. • Interdisciplinary collaboration is ideal in evaluation and treatment. • Hospitalization should be reserved for severe or recalcitrant cases. • The presence of an organic etiology does not rule out the possibility of psychosocial contributing factors. • Can occur at all socioeconomic levels. Although occurrence may be highest among children from low income families, recent evidence from the UK reported no association between socioeconomic status and growth at age 12 months.

23. Sudden infant death syndrome • SIDS is not caused by the baby suffocating when something obstructs their mouth, thats pillow death, the exact cause of SIDS is unknown, but from recent studies it is most likely that its caused by a chemical in their brains, our brains have a chemical which reminds us to breath involuntarily, so we dont have to think about breathing, it just happens, but some babies are born with low amounts of this chemical and when they are a few months old, they will forget to breath and unfortunately if no one sees them in time, they will perish from SIDS. This is an extremely rare thing, most likely will not happen to you, and the risk drops even lower once the baby is past 6 months, the average age is 2-4 months, SIDS cases are nearly nonexistent after a year. There are things you can do to lower the risks even further though, you are doing most of them already. Its been shown that babies that breastfeed 6 months- a year have a lower chance, as do babies who are vaccinated. It is also recommended that they sleep in their own crib with no blankets or bumper pads, as these can contain the carbon dioxide in the crib, instead use a sleeper sack. Pacifiers can help up, they do something to remind the brain to keep breathing, but thats only until 6 months, after that they dont really do anything, so your baby is too old for that. Using a fan lowers the risk as it keeps the air circulating, which will remind the brain to breath. Smoking around the baby will increase their odds, so tell your mother she either takes it outside or shes no longer welcome, shell understand. Also it is suggested that their crib be kept next to your bed for the first year, so you will be alert if something happens. It is good that she sleeps on her back, that does lower the chances, but it will also flatten the back of her head over time, while she is sleeping at night put her on her back, but during the day, when you are watching her and she is taking shorter naps, place her on her front and be sure to flip her every few hours.
