Bathing your baby is both fun and relaxing. Prior to the umbilical cord
falling off, your baby needs no more than a gentle sponge bath. Focus on the
face, hands, nappy area, and folds of skin. Once the umbilical cord is no
longer present, a baby bathtub makes bathing baby a breeze.

Preparation is of utmost importance when bathing baby. Before you begin,
make sure that you have everything you need for bath time. Before the first
bath, make a checklist of items that you need so that you will already have

Article by Dr. John Cantu

People who choose to smoke every day, little by little, to kill or stop smoking . It’s really a choice, but to achieve them. Are they really an option to harm her unborn child? I maintain that there is a critical law must be smoking and drugs, if a child because it is proven that choice to do permanent damage to your child. It is strange to say why smokers, it is acceptable to smoke while evil, and they want to declare it will not harm their babies, and they expect the community believe. If we go to someone we hurt in prison, but when we packed our own baby by giving them poison, no one says anything. How is depressing. So, perhaps, some facts are now read in public for the most effective way to prevent this tragedy. Please read it because there is an urgent need to control your desires so that you can find ways to stop smoking quickly.

How could target = children? Here is a medical record.

I will explain this clearly, because it is important that everyone understands me. Here is a list of violations proven detrimental to the baby’s name is a woman:

* Schedule unexplained abortions, in other words, the number of deaths of children for no good reason .* recognized ectopic pregnancies, this which is a fertilized egg, the uterus is anchored. The egg mothers in the fallopian tube, ovary, cervix, or implanted in the abdomen. As the fetus develops, it dissolves over time to blow the organ. This leads to severe bleeding and the risk of the life of the mother. In a normal pregnancy ectopic, the child dies, and from time to time, so that the woman .* fetal brain damage, brain damage such as vascular distortion is through several terrible consequences of cerebral palsy, damage to the brain and nervous tissue induces reduced motor developmental delay. Nobody wants their child to be delivered to these problems. Now you can understand why I think that smoking during pregnancy is a crime .* developmental delay / low birth weight. Health challenges include the disease in the first days of life, can cause health problems to death, infections and long-term effects, including growth retardation, reduced motor activity, delayed the low status social and education of persons with disabilities .* or greater than the average infant blood pressure. Children with blood pressure problems are at much greater risk of serious heart attacks in their twenties. Could have children with more higher blood pressure in trouble with the extra body weight or kidney disease and other problems require .* neonatal intensive care unit. This is a feature of treatment for children with complex medical problems, especially those which operated in the days or weeks of birth .* infant perinatal disorders, brain injuries that occur during a time window of several days before birth and require a few days .* sudden infant death syndrome, which is the fate of a baby without excuse particular between birth and one year. Your baby is in a much higher potential for SIDS delay .* psychological, consists of below average intelligence and a lack of skills necessary for normal daily life. Baby with a mental disability horrible act like babies all their lives .* respiratory problems throughout childhood, including runny nose, colds, flu, sore throat and cough. A number of babies could also chronic diseases, the fate of the airways such as asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF). Your baby is also at risk from the rest of his life to tuberculosis, pneumonia, insomnia, tonsillitis, and lung cancer, even .* Attention Deficit Disorder, which makes it difficult or impossible to focus and learn. It will definitely hurt ability, all classes of the school and cause anger .* behavioral disruptive behavior, violence and crime. Your child may go to jail because of your emotional problems created by tobacco carcinogens in the blood .* infants: probably carcinogenic mutations and leukemia in children

try to do this must be stopped, while your NRT is OK? The simple answer is that NRT may be more harmful than cigarettes for unborn children. The dilemma is not only smoked nicotine. On Januuary 8, 2006, Professor Theodore Slotkin, a toxicologist said nicotine is leading research at Duke University Medical Center, “There is ample evidence that the main problem is that cigarettes are harmful to the submission of fetal development to nicotine rather by other components. “

Do you have your own studies, but what I found. Smoking and passive smoking among women is a major cause of abortions, stillbirths and sudden death syndrome in infants (SIDS) A meta-analysis of published studies is tobacco use is responsible each year from 19,000 to 141,000 miscarriages, 1900-4800 infant mortality or perinatal disorders before birth causes, and SIDS deaths in 1200 at 2200. A recent comprehensive study found that parental smoking killed 2800 during childbirth, and 2,000 died of SIDS. According to a 1997 study, introduces children from passive smoking at more than 500 000 visits the doctor for asthma and 1.3 million visits for coughs, and more than 115,000 episodes of pneumonia, 14,000 tonsillectomies or adenoidectomy, 260,000 episodes of bronchitis, two million cases of Otis media among children (acute or chronic inflammation or the middle ear) and 5200 transtympanic (ear surgery).
