Breast milk can do a great deal for treating your sick baby. You know that the colostrums in breast milk is good for helping your baby’s immune system, but did you know that you can actually use it to treat it a stuffy nose or a mild eye infection? Talk to your pediatrician first, but some advice suggests that you should suction off a little expressed milk directly off the breast with a dropper. You can then put one drop into each eye or nostril four to five times a day until the baby is better.

If your baby is not a noisy eater you may not need to burp them after every single feeding. In fact, quiet eaters are not usually sucking down lots of air. The noisy, slurpy eater is likely swallowing more air. Quiet eaters will generally burp or expel the extra air all on their own. Your noisy eater should still be burped regularly as should the baby that spits up a lot.

Babies develop from the top of their heads down. Literally, our babies begin their developmental milestones by smiling. Their next milestones include neck control, pushing up with shoulders and arms, then rolling over and finally sitting up, crawling, standing and finally walking. Talk about using your head!

Babies store extra food and water in their bodies before they are born so that when they are born, they have a supply of nutrients and fluids while they wait for Momma’s milk to come in. In the normal course of nature, it takes a few days for breast milk to come in. Babies are sustained on the colostrums that mom produces but also the extra nutrients they’ve stored away. Mother nature is a lot smarter and more economical than we knew.

You really don’t have to whisper or tip toe around your newborn? Babies spend nine months in the womb with a front row seat to all the natural noises that goes on around mom. In fact, if you had a very barky dog while you were pregnant, chances are your baby won’t even notice the barky dog when they are sleeping after they are born – it’s a noise they are used to. Normal sounds of the household are a natural lullaby for babies including the sounds of the vacuum cleaner, a favorite television program or even you singing to yourself in the shower.
