#Baby Care
Text
seeing a lot of videos that are like “I didn’t know babies couldn’t have water” so here’s an incomplete list of things you need to know before having a baby
- the obvious, they can’t have water bc milk is incredibly high in water already so excess water leads to over hydration
- babies cannot have honey until 1
- if ur breastfeeding your kid and saving excess milk, make sure you label what you pumped in the morning vs at night bc your body produces different melatonin levels throughout the day and giving your baby daytime milk at night can make them more alert and fuck up their sleep schedule
- idk why ppl keep saying this but swaddling your babies or getting them those baby straight jacket things is not abuse. It chills them out cuz it reminds them of the womb
- babies have a dandruff like buildup on their head called cradle cap, and it’s very easy to deal with and remove with just some baby shampoo, a gentle scrub brush (MADE FOR BABIES!!) and a comb. It does need to be removed tho cuz it can be very painful after a while. This can also continue to happen late into toddlerhood it’s normal
- you have to clean out the creases of your baby’s skin and hands and feet they WILL collect dust😭😭
- you cannot bathe your baby until their umbilical cord naturally falls off. Use a warm damp rag until then
- tummy time is actually very important
- your baby might have a misshapen head at first (not all the time but sometimes) this will either sort itself out or they’ll need a corrective helmet ask your doctor
- I wouldn’t recommend having your baby leave the house very much until they’re at least 6 months old, especially if they’re born near cold and flu season cuz the common cold can kill a newborn
- you’re not an awful horrible person for having postpartum depression and it’s always a million times better to let your baby cry a few minutes longer than normal while you regain your composure than to freak out and give ur kid shaken baby syndrome
- you’re not an awful horrible person for giving your baby formula milk either
- don’t put shoes on your baby it’ll compromise their toe box and balance
- babies put every single thing in their mouths
- the easiest way to burp a baby is to hold them straight up (spine straight) and hold their head a bit higher
- always support their head they barely have necks
- if your baby fights away food, fights tummy time, vomits every single time you burp them, is gaining or losing an unreasonable amount of weight at a time, wheezes after eating, or goes red after eating, chances are they’re probably allergic to the type of milk they’re eating (again ask a doctor but these are just some signs it’s not just colic)
- they will wobble a lot when learning to do things but you gotta fight the urge to help them every single time cuz they gotta learn
- they’re not always spitting out baby food cuz they don’t like it they just don’t know how to eat. Like they don’t know how to push food down they only know how to stick their tongue out so be patient
- babies craniums are broken up into three parts at first that later fuse together, this is to help make birthing easier but it results in a small EXTREMELY sensitive spot in the top of their head that has no protection. This puts their brain at a high risk. Always protect their soft spot
- read to your baby!! Get cute bright colorful sensory books with sight words and read them to your baby it makes such a huge difference in their educational growth and will help them acquire a love for reading early on. And talk to them never shut up just say whatever comes to mind all the time this will strengthen their vocabulary growth also.
- babies poop like a lot. A lot. an unreasonable amount. Bring back up clothes and more diapers than you think
- no pillows or stuffies in the crib and only use a muslin blanket unless it’s especially cold to prevent suffocation
- babies kick reflexively until they’re out of their newborn scrunch (they stay womb shaped for a while) and if your baby is crying and pushing at the swaddle try letting them flail around for a minute
- consoling your baby is not spoiling them ! They need comfort and they will learn to self soothe on their own
- singing lullabies actually works, they can recognize your voice a consistent place of comfort from the womb and the cadence of lullabies is literally engineered to create a calm headspace
- for the love of god do not get boring ass beige toys. Colors are important for their neurological development
- babies are very responsive to praise from a young age so be as supportive of them as you can
- babies get constipated a lot and you have to do like tummy massages to help ease their pain the easiest way is to lay them on their backs and hold one foot in each hand, kick their feet like bicycles, scrunch up, and then stretch their legs out
- holding them on your hip too much will not cause bow legged-ness if your baby is bow legged that was always gonna happen
- they drool so so much and you have to get bibs for them so they don’t get chest eczema
- don’t use scented products on their skin cuz their skin is sooo much thinner than ours
- when your baby first starts sitting on their own never walk away from them without setting up a nest of pillows and blankets around them. Even minor head trauma can mess them up sometimes
- this one is kinda morbid and scary but sometimes babies just die out of nowhere and it’s no one’s fault or anything it’s called sudden infantile death syndrome(SIDS) and it’s about 1.3k deaths on average per year in America so not super common but still very real. 90% of these deaths happen during the first four months however edit: apparently it’s bc of an enzyme deficiency which at the very least you can take steps to try and prevent
- smoking and drinking during pregnancy WILL affect your baby and your breast milk and also might contribute to SIDS cases
- babies sometimes have a big red mark on them somewhere called a stork bite immediately after birth but typically it goes away
- babies can’t see very well for a while after birth and they’re VERY wobbly so they’ll typically bonk their head into your chest and face a lot while trying to support themselves
- female babies might have smth similar to a period the first few days after birth, this is because of the hormone transfer that happens during the birthing process and the days leading up to it
- male babies get random erections for the first few days after birth(hormone transfer again) literally do not be weird about this it’s a baby
- things like weaning your baby onto solid foods, potty training, weaning off pacifiers etc, can actually be directed by the baby and will happen naturally will minimal guidance from the parent(some guidance is still necessary) although I would do individual research into baby led weaning for food to prevent choking
- get those chewy feeding pouches to help with weaning
- the most random things will scare the hell out of your baby don’t take it personal 😭
- baby carriers are life savers (tulas are one of my favorites)
- once babies hit toddlerhood they’re tougher than you think, and a lot of their reaction is based on YOURS. they’re always going to be looking to you for how to react to a situation. Remain calm and if they’re ok they’ll calm down but if they’re genuinely hurt they’ll keep crying
- babies will most likely get ridiculously attached to an inanimate object and you have to keep this thing intact at all costs until they’re old enough to abandon it or they will throw a FIT. I got a lemur plushie from a zoo once and every single one of the kids has bonded their soul with it until about 6 years old and once a month I have to stitch him back up
- don’t compare yourself to other parents. Maybe your kid isnt getting grass fed wild caught north Atlantic cheerios but at least they’re fed. If your kid is alive and healthy and happy you’re doing a good job
- you will need 3 car seats, an infant seat, a grow with me toddler seat, and a booster seat
- getting a good diaper bag is a MUST
- the hair a baby is born with will most likely all fall out or they’ll get a bald spot on the back of their head where they sleep cuz their hair is so fragile and thin but once it grows back it grows back thick
- get like 20 muslin blankets so you always have a backup when the main ones are covered in spit up
- the babies grip IS stronger than yours (keep your hair up and keep pets away best you can)
- your best bet for your teething baby is a pacifier you can put your finger in so you can massage their gums and some chewing toys numbing cream can be dangerous and should be used sparingly
- go ahead and come to terms with the fact you’re gonna have to use a Frida Baby to manually remove snot
- babies can get hair and thread wrapped around their toes and fingers that can cut off their circulation try to make a habit of checking
- don’t hit your kid please it’s nothing but trauma and fucked up coping mechanisms from there pls empathize with your child they’re a person too
- be careful not to pull too hard on their arms and legs(like during play or holding their hand while they walk) and NEVER pick them up by their hands this will very easily cause dislocation
- they might have a little tooth like callous on their lip from their pacifier. This does not hurt them and it will go away but it may hurt during breastfeeding
- breastfeeding will make your boobs different sizes
Yeag that’s all I can think of rn but yk i Will add as I remember stuff ppl are also adding things I forgot in the tags in case you’d like to look thru that as well <3

This is an extremely specific question but does anyone else have a baby and if you do do you use Kirkland diapers and if you do do you refer to the sizes as the BTS members the little animals on them represent?
Cause I’m over here like “okay, bye bye to Mr. Jimin diapers (a chick), hello to Mr. Jinnie diapers (a mouse) and next up are Mr. Kookie diapers (a bunny)!”
No? Just me? Cool, cool 🤣

Baby's First Year: Milestones and Developmental Achievements
The first year of a baby's life is a remarkable journey filled with countless milestones and awe-inspiring developmental achievements. From those initial moments of tiny fingers grasping yours to the first joyful babblings, every day brings a new discovery. Let's take a closer look at the key milestones that mark the extraordinary first year of your little one's life.
Month 1-3: The Marvel of New Beginnings
In these early months, your baby is adjusting to life outside the womb. Milestones include the adorable first smiles, the ability to track objects with their eyes, and the beginning of those sweet cooing sounds that melt your heart. Tummy time becomes a crucial activity to build neck and upper body strength.
Month 4-6: Grasping and Giggles
As your baby becomes more aware of their surroundings, you'll witness the delightful development of reaching and grasping objects. Rolling over, babbling, and the first attempts at sitting are common milestones during this period. Those contagious belly laughs will become music to your ears.
Month 7-9: Sitting Up and Exploring
Between seven and nine months, many babies start to sit up independently, unlocking a new world of exploration. They may start to crawl, pulling themselves up on furniture, and showing an increasing interest in exploring various textures and objects.
Month 10-12: First Steps and Words
The final stretch of the first year often brings the anticipation of those monumental first steps. Some babies take their first solo steps around their first birthday, while others may prefer cruising along furniture. Language development is in full swing, with adorable attempts at saying simple words and understanding basic commands.
Celebrating Each Step:
Every baby is unique, and while general timelines for milestones exist, it's essential to celebrate each child's individual progress. Whether your little one takes their first steps at nine months or fourteen months, relish in the joy of these precious moments.
Capturing Memories:
Documenting these milestones through photographs, videos, and a baby journal helps create a treasure trove of memories. From the first toothy grin to the first wobbly steps, these are the moments that shape the beautiful tapestry of your baby's first year.
In conclusion, the first year of a baby's life is a kaleidoscope of wonder and growth. Cherish the journey, savor the small victories, and revel in the miraculous unfolding of your little one's unique personality. Here's to celebrating the magic of babyhood!

Top 10 Tips for Practicing Yoga While Pregnant
If you’re expecting a baby, you may be wondering how to incorporate yoga into your pregnancy. Practicing yoga during pregnancy has many benefits - it can help to reduce stress and boost energy levels, as well as improve strength and flexibility. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the top 10 tips for practicing yoga while pregnant, so you can make the most of your prenatal yoga practice.
1) Get the all-clear from your GP before you start
It's important to check with your GP or midwife before beginning any exercise routine while pregnant, especially when it comes to yoga. This is because the postures and breathing exercises that makeup yoga can have different effects depending on the individual. Having a medical professional's opinion will ensure you're engaging in safe, beneficial practices. Speak to your healthcare provider about any potential risks so you can make an informed decision about practicing yoga during pregnancy.
2) Join a class led by a qualified teacher
Attending a yoga class led by a qualified instructor is one of the best ways to practice yoga safely during pregnancy. A good instructor can show you how to modify poses and make sure that your practice is tailored to the changes happening in your body. An experienced yoga instructor will know what is safe and beneficial for pregnant women and can make adjustments to the class accordingly. Practicing with an experienced instructor will also help to keep you motivated, encouraged and supported throughout your pregnancy.
3) Listen to your body
Prenatal yoga classes are a great way to learn which poses are safe during pregnancy. While practicing yoga, be sure to pay attention to your body's cues. If a pose is causing discomfort or pain, stop immediately and adjust your position or switch to a different pose. When listening to your body, it's best to opt for gentler movements and take regular breaks. Avoid holding poses for too long, as this can increase your risk of injury. Finally, ensure that you get the all-clear from your doctor before starting any prenatal yoga classes.
4) Drink plenty of water
Staying hydrated is especially important when practicing yoga during pregnancy. Make sure to drink water before, during and after your practice to keep yourself hydrated. Avoid caffeinated drinks and sugary juices as they can contribute to dehydration. Keeping a bottle of water on hand and sipping throughout your practice can help ensure that you stay hydrated throughout your session.
5) Avoid hot yoga
When practicing yoga during pregnancy, it's important to avoid hot yoga or any class with high temperatures. Pregnant women are more sensitive to heat and can overheat quickly, which can cause problems for the baby. Instead, opt for classes in a well-ventilated space with a comfortable temperature that won't cause you to sweat too much. This will help keep you and your baby safe and comfortable while you practice.
6) Don't push yourself
If you're new to yoga, or pregnant, it's important to take things slowly and not push yourself too hard. Modify poses as necessary, and listen to your body
7) Modify poses as necessary
If a pose doesn't feel right, don't be afraid to modify it. Listen to your body and make whatever adjustments you need to in order to feel comfortable.
8) Use props
Props can be very helpful when practicing yoga during pregnancy. For example, using a yoga block can help you maintain proper alignment in certain poses.
9) Focus on your breath
Breathing is an important part of yoga, and it can be especially helpful during pregnancy. Taking deep, cleansing breaths can help you relax and focus.
10) Relax and enjoy!
Pregnancy is a time to relax and enjoy your body. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to do Advanced poses or to be perfect. Just focus on enjoying the experience and connecting with your baby.

I know a lot of the people that are sharing the information aren't looking at URLs so it's not intentional to share their ideals. Anyways here's the WHO recipe they were sharing.

Extremely off topic for my type of thing but please take care of your baby's eczema!
I'm surprised at the amount of parents who don't do anything about it. If your baby's skin is dry, flaky, there's red dry spots all over them, their head is forming tiny scabs on top of their cradle cap, they're screaming when their clothes rub their skin during changing/diapering, then they need something to help.
Ask a doctor!!!!! Go online for baby's eczema cream!!!!!! Please do something!!!!!

Genius Baby Care Hacks Every New Parent Must Know
Tumblr media
Newborns are both exciting and overwhelming. Keeping up with something new every day becomes challenging and stressful for new parents with newborns. However, these brilliant baby care hacks will make your parenting journey easier.
These tips will save new parents both time and their sanity. You'll also be able to sleep at night when three hours of unbroken sleep seems like a fantasy.
1. Use Body Wash With Natural Extracts
For a nighttime bathing routine, try using Attitude’s Baby Leaves foaming wash with blueberry leaf extracts to ensure a soothing sleep at night. Ideally, natural extracts help babies sleep better, especially if you bathe babies before bedtime.
2. The Fastest Way To Treat Baby Rashes
If your baby is always developing diaper rashes, check for lactose intolerance. The best cure used to treat rashes is breast milk, another effective home remedy is mustard oil mixed with a tiny bit of water.
Having a diaper rash cream is also a must as a mom. We support brands like ‘Made of’ because of their safety standards and the use of pure, simple and organic ingredients.
3. Use Organic Oil or Body Lotion To Prevent Baby’s Skin From Over Drying
How can you tell if a newborn is feeling itchy?
Perhaps this may be an old tale -  If a baby is feeling itchy somewhere in the body due to dry skin or some other unknown reason. You may be able to notice your baby is spitting or making bubbly saliva around her mouth.
Before or after bathing the baby, massage extra virgin coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil into the skin to relieve dryness and itching. This will prevent her skin from becoming dry and irritated while yet keeping it soft and hydrated.
Attitude Living has the most gentle products for babies. Get this calming lotion for babies to keep baby skin moisturized and loved.
4. A Simple Way To Prevent Nighttime Diaper Leaks
By using a simple tip, you can prevent nighttime diaper leaks by choosing a size larger. If your baby normally wears a size 5, switch to a size 6 for the evening.
‘Made of’ makes diapers which are hypoallergenic and made for sensitive skin which can also absorb fluids for upto 10 hours.
Although it will be costly, it will give you more sleep at night because there won't be any diaper leaks.
5. Trim Nails While the Baby Is Sleeping
One of the most challenging tasks for a mother is nail trimming. If you use glasses on a daily basis, make sure you always wear them and that there is enough light in the room when trimming the baby's nails.
6. Learn To Swaddle The Right Way
Swaddling is very comforting for newborns and they sleep better as they feel cozy and warm like in the womb. Swaddling ensures better sleep and minimizes startle reflux which is quite common in newborns.
7. Avoid Waking Up Your Baby For Diaper Changes At Night Unless There Is A Huge Blowout
Just let your baby sleep if she appears damp and is not awakened because of the soiled diaper; if not you may change her under a night light. Avoid washing her at night or lighting up the room. Since you are already sleep deprived, you don't want her to be wide awake.
8. Carry A Backpack Instead of A Diaper Bag
When you are holding a little child, you must keep your hands free. Instead of a diaper bag, you need a backpack. As a mother of a newborn or toddler, wearing a backpack is an adaptable method to move around without restriction.
9. Dream Feeding
Feeding your baby while he is sound asleep is known as dream feeding. So when they become hungry, babies do not wake up crying. You would benefit from better nighttime sleep as a result.
Learn more about dream feed and see if it works for you.
