| Why is my baby crying? Babies cry for one (or a combination of) four reasons - Hunger, pain, discomfort (dirty diaper) or attention. Learning the differences between these cries will help tremendously in dealing with your crying baby. How often should I change the diaper? The more you keep your baby’s diaper clean, the less opportunity for diaper rash and other uncomfortable conditions for your baby. In the first few months of your child’s life, check the diaper about every two hours. How can I tell when she’s had enough to eat? Babies will become disinterested in their bottle once they are full. When you notice your baby’s attention drifting away from eating, you can be reasonably certain the need for food has gone away. When will she start talking? While babies vary in this area, the rule of thumb is one year. My daughter Ivy voiced her first cognitive word at eleven months when my wife and I came back from a three day cruise. She took one look at us and exclaimed, “Momma!” My baby doesn’t smile, is something wrong? Newborns don’t really smile until they reach about two months old. They may look like they’re smiling, but it could just be a gas release. That first two months can be a struggle for dads because we love instant feedback. When you understand going in that your baby won’t smile for a couple months, it takes some of the pressure off. It’s cold out. How should I dress my baby? The basic rule of thumb here is to dress your baby as you are dressed. Too often people bundle a baby up three and four times more than they are which causes the child to overheat. Babies generate a lot of body heat and do not need extra protection. |
