Bathing a newborn for the first time is nerve wrecking and scary if you don’t know what to do. Have no fear it’s easy and all you need are warm hands and patience. Best way to begin bathing your newborn is to be ready, here are a few things you will need and want to do to get prepared:

Extra Hand- The first several times you do this you will need help. Have your spouse or a friend help you bathe your newborn. It’s great to have an extra hand in case you forgot something or just need support. And once you are ok with bathing your baby alone remember to keep a hand on your baby at all times, never leave your baby alone in or near water.

Bathing Tub-There are many bathing tubs on the market. Most parents prefer the freestanding tubs over anything else. Place the tub on a flat surface in a warm area. Also dim the lights above your newborns eyes. Then use warm water and fill the bathing tub 2-3 inches. Throughout the bathing process you can pour warm water on your baby’s tummy to keep them warm.

Sponge, Washcloth, Towel- It’s best to start out with sponge baths for your baby’s first bath. Find a soft and large baby bathing sponge and once you feel comfortable you can use a soft washcloth. Have a towel set aside and ready. A towel with a built in hood is best, you want to get your baby wrapped up as soon as you finished bathing.

Mild baby shampoo and soap- There are many different kinds of baby shampoos and soaps; look for mild and tear free brands or handmade natural soap. Your baby has very sensitive and new skin, you want to protect it. Ask relatives and friends for suggestions or brands that they personally trust.

Diaper and Clothes-As soon as you finish your newborns bath you want to wrap him/her in a towel. Make sure you have a diaper and clothes set up on a flat surface and close to your bathing station. Once the baby is dry, put them in their diaper and clothes.

Bathing your new baby is simple, just take your time and enjoy it. It is a great bonding experience for you and your child. Remember being prepared is key and to always keep one hand on your newborn. Happy bathing!

If you’ve had a premature baby, you will know that people are hesitant to buy you any baby gifts, because people tend to be more pessimistic than optimistic about your baby’s future outcome. So even if friends and family have sent flowers and/or brought over food to your home, you still need to send them a thank you note. Even non-monetary gifts such as driving you to the hospital or babysitting siblings while you visit your baby in the NICU are worthy of a thank you, because time (and gas) is money, too. And it’s the thought that counts.

Want to make your thank you note even more special? Why not write personalized thank you poems? Using your baby’s name within the poem makes the poem unique to your situation. Customize the poem even more by adding the recipient’s name/s. This can be done easily using a computer program to simply find and replace names, which surely beats out handwriting all those thank you notes!

Once your baby is out of the NICU and the real baby gifts pour in, then you can send out real baby shower thank you notes to show your gratitude for the gifts. Don’t forget to include a photo of your bundle of joy!

Macy and Mallory were due for their annual eye exams this past week. We really like our eye doctor, but unfortunately his office doesn’t participate with our vision insurance, EyeMed (don’t get me started on my rant about insurance companies dictating what doctors we can and can’t see). Luckily, since the girls have a history of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), our medical insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) will cover the exams, and I only have to pay our $25 copay.

Of course, BCBS doesn’t cover the cost of eyeglasses or contact lenses, so me being the bargain shopper that I am asked for a written prescription of their powers and will turn to the internet to find some affordable eyeglasses and contact lenses. Macy’s vision has changed a bit, and the eye doctor suggested that she wear prescription eyeglasses while driving and while at school. Mallory’s vision has remained the same, but she still needs new contact lenses.

I plan to check out Zenni Optical, the #1 rated online eyeglasses store that offers complete $6.95 prescription eyeglasses plus is currently having a “Buy 2, Get 3rd pair free” promo! Virtually any prescription fashion eyeglasses and/or sunglasses, even bifocals and/or progressive eyeglasses, can be ordered online from Zenni Optical. You can even try on the frame online with their “Frame Fit” system.

Home birth is on the rise, and you need to know what a midwife does before you can choose one. A midwife’s function is to give care throughout your pregnancy and during the birthing process. They look after your health and the health of your baby. An Austin midwife service is one that will put emphasis on the health of the baby, mother, and the rest of the family. They can deliver premature babies, twins, and even triplets as well as normal births.

Midwife services are more than just being there when you baby is born. The best midwives take care of you from the very beginning of your pregnancy and continue long after the baby is born. They can help with the postpartum care and offer help caring for your baby from nursing to baby care. In Austin, midwife service offers help with family planning, reproductive care, and annual exams. They follow you through from the beginning of your pregnancy to the end and beyond.

The first thing you want to look for in a midwife service is their credentials. They should have at least one of the certifications from Lay Midwife, Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), and Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM). They don’t need all of them but at least one. Of course, the finest recommendation is word of mouth, but do ask around to see what others say about them.

The second thing to look for is what services they offer. In Austin, midwife service covers a wide range of health care. They may come out to your house or have a birthing center to see to your needs. They do multiple births such as twins and triplets. They can teach you all the breathing techniques or Lamaze techniques you need for the upcoming birth. They cover diet, supplements, and exercise and other changes you’ll be going through such as lifestyle and emotional changes. They work with the whole family ensuring mental wellness for the family members as well as the baby.

Another thing to look for is the nature of a midwife. They should be a helping hand, not the ringleader. They aren’t doctors but good midwifes take you by the hand and walk you through the natural, biological birth process. They support you when labor begins and stay until the baby is born. After the baby is born they also help with nursing for the first time, how to care of the baby, and visit for several weeks or months (depending on your needs) after the baby is born.

Austin midwife service is trained to deal with single, twins, or triplet births as well as any complication that may come up. Their training covers the natural birth process in the normal sense, but they can deal with problems that come up along the way. If they can’t, they will direct you to the proper medical center. Don’t forget you can ask them any questions and find the answers to any problem.

Twins are normally born early or premature as the saying goes but that doesn’t stop the worry or stress of having two babies to take care of right away. The average for twins is 22 days early and that means they won’t have to stay in the hospital too long after they are born. You can take them home if their weight is kept up and they are healthy. That also means there’s also a lot of work for you and the hubby, not to mention the nights of feedings and walking the floor.

That all comes down to not enough sleep, too much stress, and a little worry about your preemie twins. That’s the time when you should take a spa break. If you’re one of the lucky ones, your friends and family will hold a baby shower for your and give you a spa voucher or several spa vouchers. It’s one of the best treats you can give yourself.

Twins take a lot of work, not that you don’t want the hard work but it doesn’t do your babies any good if you let yourself get rundown and you’re exhausted all the time. Using one of your spa vouches for a little time for yourself will help your babies more than putting yourself in the hospital with exhaustion. You can let them use some of their beauty products on you so you feel better about yourself too.

Even if you just have one premature baby it’s still a lot of stress and work to keep them fed, healthy, and happy. They always need extra care and special handling. It’s easy for you and your hubby to be worn out with all the work. It’s more than worth the effort.

However, when the baby is premature you spend all your time running to and from the hospital, supplying the breast milk, and trying to cope with the fear. The baby usually has to stay in the hospital until its due date and in some cases, that may be more than several weeks.

You also have to deal with the guilt (maybe) when your baby is born premature. It’s not anything you did, sometimes it just happens, but you still go through a guilt phase. That can be very wearing on your emotions, not to mention the post partum emotions you have to go through. Your husband or partner does go through the same emotions you do, so there you have an added stress factor. The best way to deal with premature twins or a baby is to take a spa break when you can and pamper yourself, so you’ll be in better shape to take care of your baby when they do come home.

According to a Swedish study published in Diabetes Care (a publication from the American Diabetes Association), babies born premature (before 37 weeks gestational age) have a slightly higher risk of developing diabetes at some point in their lifetime.

Preterm birth, including late preterm birth, is associated with a modestly increased risk of diabetes in young Swedish adults. These findings have important public health implications given the increasing number of preterm births and the large disease burden of diabetes, particularly when diagnosed in young adulthood.

Mind you, this study was done in Sweden, not the United States, so results may be different for American babies born prematurely. My guess is that the percentage may be even higher here in the states. Why? Because the we have a higher rate of premature births. And we also have a higher risk factors involved, such as obesity – the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that two thirds of Americans are overweight.

That being said, diabetes needle disposal as well as medical waste disposal in general is becoming a bigger and bigger problem as infectious waste has the ability to cause human and environmental harm if not properly disposed. BioMedical Waste Solutions offers a more environmentally friendly process of treatment and disposal by using an autoclave, or steam sterilization, to render your waste noninfectious and is OSHA compliant.

When my girls finally got to leave the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the nurses gave them cute little shirts saying “NICU Graduate” with the hospital name and year on them. They have since stopped giving them away due to budget restraints which I totally understand – I’m all for keeping healthcare costs down. But I love the whole “NICU Graduate” concept, so I was happy to see that CafePress offers dozens of designs to order your own NICU Graduate Merchandise where you can get such items as a bib, custom tshirt, ornament, onesie and more.

CafePress also offers a huge selection of personalized gifts and unique t-shirts (including sports tshirts featured on the blog “Death by T-Shirt“), clothing, mugs, art & posters. They have millions of designs from shopkeepers around the world that range from funny to cool to promotional.
