We had an exciting afternoon yesterday. We got to go to the second part of our baby class. It was really interesting because it was all about what happens when the baby first arrives. The nurse went over "normal" things that happen, that might not look normal (ex:baby acne, cone head, baby dandruff ect). Here are some of the take aways I totally would not have known:
1. Cool rooms are better for babies, they do not need to be overly warm.
2. Corn starch and/or baby powder can give little girls yeast infections, a cream is a better way to go.
3. The handle on the car seat can't be kept over the baby while in the car, it needs to be put behind the car seat.
4. Sleepy time on the back, play time on the tummy.
5. Play time on the tummy, sitting upright in the corner of a chair or the couch and baby "sit ups" help strengthen the neck and prevents neck problems later in life.
6. Babies either learn to walk or talk first....they don't learn it at the same time. We'll either have an early walker or talker (my guess is talker :).
Just some tid bits I thought were interesting. This makes me realize how much Nate and I will be learning those first few weeks! Get ready!!
