12 things you may not know about Babies
WEEK #12



Cry baby....
It is often said that instinctively parents know by the sound of their baby's cry weather they are  hungry, needing their diaper change or just tired. Don't worry if you still trying to figure out your baby's first language, it may take a little time to recognize the different tones of each cry. As time goes by you'll become fluent in "CRY" and will easily identify your baby's unique way of communicating their needs. From the loud shrieking of discomfort to a more subdued whimpering of fatigue, each request will be made with a different cry. Although "CRY" is the universal language for baby's they all "speak" it a little differently, in fact some baby's will howl for no reason at all. But no matter what their need may be more often then not you'll be able to meet it just by the sound of their cry.

12 things you may not know about Babies
WEEK #11

Take a deep breath baby...
Babies look like little angels when they're sleeping. But often new parents spend a good part of each night bent over the side of their baby's crib, checking to make sure their angel is still breathing. Until you learn your infants breathing patterns, watching your baby taking irregular breaths can be nerve wracking. Rest assured that those slight pauses and then periods of rapid deep breaths are perfectly normal.  Occasional moments of irregular breathing is part of the development of the diaphragm, the muscle that enables breathing.  Pauses of up to 20 seconds are considered normal. By the time your baby is about 6 weeks old they should develop a more regular breathing pattern.

12 things you may not know about Babies
WEEK #10

Let's Go "Skin"ny Dippin'... 
Before babies are born they are suspended in a warm & lovely pool of amniotic fluid. During pregnancy your baby's skin is protected from this watery world by a coating of a white waxy material called vernix. After baby is born & their skin is exposed to the air and the vernix is rubbed away, the upper layer of their skin dries out and begins to peel. A baby's entire body may peel (but it's most noticeable on the hands and feet). it is important that you don't try to pick off the flakes -- by doing so you may end up removing skin that's not ready to be shed. Baby lotions do not stop this shedding and are not necessary. This "skin shedding" usually lasts one to two weeks.

Gesundheit kleine baby!

Little babies seem to sneeze a lot, but it's not because they're chilled or sick. Sneezing is simply a natural reflex that keeps their nasal and respiratory passages free of congestion and tiny airborne particles. Sneezing also helps reopen a temporarily closed nostril. During breastfeeding it is common for a baby's nose to be pressed up tightly against their mother, this can often flatten one or both nostrils. The sensation of shut nostrils will cause a baby to take a deep breath or sneeze to open their nose again. So say "gesundheit" and rest easy! If fever or other symptoms appear consult your baby's pediatrician.
