HOW TO BURP THE BABY

• If you should decide to try the sitting up position, position your baby in your lap with his/her body leaning forward. Support the chest and head with one hand while you pat your baby's back with your other hand.

POSITIONS

• Over the shoulder position• Hold the newborn against your shoulder and pat it’s

back.• The face down, on your lap position • Lay the baby’s head on one leg and the stomach on the

other and rub their back.• The sitting up position• Lean the baby’s body forward in your lap, supporting the

head with one hand, and pat it’s back.

BOTTLE FEEDING

• When you are giving your baby your feed, tilt the bottle slightly so the end of the teat is always full of milk, not air. You'll see bubbles inside the bottle as your baby feeds. She may feed in short bursts of sucking then rest in between. These breaks in feeding give her time to feel if she is full or not.

BOTTLE FEEDING

• If you hear a lot of noisy sucking sounds while your baby drinks, she may be taking in too much air. To help your baby swallow less air, hold her so she's propped up a little. Take care to tilt the bottle so that the teat and neck are always filled with formula.

BREAST FEEDING

• Turn your baby's whole body toward you, chest to chest. Touch her upper lip with your nipple, and, when she opens her mouth wide, pull her onto your breast, holding your breast for support. Her mouth should cover not just the nipple but as much of the areola (the darker part surrounding it) as possible.

BREAST FEEDING

• Don't panic if your newborn seems to have trouble finding or staying on your nipple. Breastfeeding requires patience and lots of practice. Don't hesitate to ask a nurse to show you what to do, and request visits from a lactation consultant while you're in the hospital (many hospitals have them on staff).

HOW TO DIAPER A BABY

• Wash your hands and place your baby on the changing table or a flat surface. Use the safety straps, or make sure to keep one hand on the baby so he doesn't roll off. Never leave your baby unattended, even for a minute. If he wiggles a lot, distract him with a mobile or a brightly colored toy. Undo the dirty diaper, hold your baby's legs with one hand and use the other hand to pull down the front of the diaper.

DIAPER

• First, use the front part of the diaper to help wipe your baby -- wiping from front to back to avoid a urinary tract infection. Then use a mild wipe or wet washcloth to clean baby -- again wiping from front to back. For a newborn or baby with diaper rash, use cotton balls or squares and warm water. Pat baby's bottom dry. If you have a boy, keep a clean diaper over his penis while you're changing him so he doesn't urinate on you.

DIAPER

• Lift baby's legs and slide the dirty diaper out. Hold your baby's legs to keep him from touching the messy diaper. Slide a clean diaper underneath your baby. On a disposable diaper, the adhesive tabs go in back and should be about belly-button level. Pull the front up between baby's legs. For a boy, make sure his penis is pointing down so he doesn't pee out of the top of his diaper.

DIAPER

• Close the tabs on a disposable diaper or pin the corners of a cloth diaper together. Make the diaper snug, but be sure you can place two fingers between the diaper and baby's waist. Afterwards make sure you wash your hands!

REFLEXES

• An automatic body response to a stimulus.

ROOTING

• Rooting Reflex: This reflex helps the child search for something to suck on by turning their head towards anything that brushes their face.

PALMAR GRASP

• Palmar Grasp Reflex: When you touch the infant’s palms, the hands will grip tightly.

MORO

• Moro Reflex: It occurs when a newborn is startled by a noise or sudden movement. The infant will react by flinging their arms and legs.

BABINSKI

• Babinski Reflex: When you stroke the sole of the foot on the outside form the heel to the toe, the toes will fan out and curl and the foot will twist in.

STEPPING OR WALKING

• Stepping or Walking Reflex: When the baby is set up on its feet it starts making a stepping motion, lifting one foot after another.

FTT

• The result of either inadequate calorie absorption, excessive calorie expenditure or inadequate intake of calories due to neglect.

SIDS

• The sudden, unexpected death of a child under the age of 1. Usually the autopsy does not reveal an explainable death.

GROSS MOTOR

• The baby must use their upper body muscles to lift up the rings and place them on the circle.

FINE MOTOR

• This toy requires the child to focus on the shapes and colors. They must insert the correct shaped blocks onto their corresponding section.

SELF AWARE

• This toy lets the baby look at itself in the mirror while playing with the colorful turtle.

ANATOMY OF THE BRAIN

FRONTAL LOBE

• The frontal lobe is located at the top middle part of the brain. The dopamine system located in this lobe is associated with reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, planning, and motivation.

PARIETAL LOBE

• The parietal lobe is located at the center-most top of the brain directly behind the frontal lobe. The parietal lobe plays important roles in integrating sensory information from various parts of the body, knowledge of numbers and their relations,

and in the manipulation of objects.

TEMPORAL LOBE

• The temporal lobe is below the frontal and parietal lobes. The temporal lobe is involved in auditory perception and is home to the primary auditory cortex. It is also important for the processing of semantics in both speech and vision.

OCCIPITAL LOBE

• The occipital lobe is located at the very back of the brain. A significant functional aspect of the occipital lobe is that it contains the primary visual cortex.

LEFT-SIDE OF BRAIN

• Logic• Analysis• Sequencing• Mathematics• Facts• Computation

RIGHT-SIDE OF BRAIN

• Creativity• Imagination• Intuition• Arts• Rhythm• Feelings• Daydreaming
