B URP A B ABY Burp a baby is at least twice during a feeding. Depending on how much the baby is drinking try burping at least once during a feeding and once after feeding. Finding the most comfortable position to burp a baby. You can lay the baby on there stomach against your knee. You can also lay the baby across your arm, while your fingertips hold his chick.

H OW TO B REASTFEED A BABY ( SLIDES 8-11) Sit an a relaxed atomshepere. If you have older children, get them something to keep themselves busy with. It helps your milk flow better.

C ONTINUED … There are six steps how to breastfeed a baby: 1. you place your nipple between your babies upper lip and nose then try to help her open wide. Another option is to brush your babies cheek with your nipple, which will cause her to toward it with her mouth open. 2.when your baby is “rooting’’( looking for the breast with her mouth open),pull her to your breast rather then your breast to her mouth.

C ONTINUEING …. 3. As your baby latches on, you want her to get a big mouthful of breast tissue. The best way to do this is with an "asymmetric latch," which means that she gets more breast tissue on the underside of the areola, rather than an equal amount all around. 4. Your baby's lips should be opened wide around the breast. The best latch is one in which you don't feel any pain and your baby is getting milk. (Listen for the sound of your baby swallowing.) If latch-on hurts, break the suction – by inserting your little finger between your baby's gums and your breast – and try again

L AST … 5.. As your baby nurses contentedly, hold her close. You may also want to support your breast, especially if your breasts are large. 6. Getting comfortable with breastfeeding takes time – for you and your baby. Don't be discouraged. Once you and your baby are in sync, breastfeeding can be a beautiful experience.

H OW TO DIAPER A BABY ( SLIDES 12-15) How to change a disposable diaper: 1. Open up a new clean diaper and place the back half (the half with tabs on either side) under your baby. The top of the back half should come up to your baby's waist. Now the clean diaper is ready to go – and is there to protect your changing table from getting dirty. (If your baby's dirty diaper is a big mess, you might want to lay a cloth, towel, or disposable pad under your baby instead of the clean diaper while you clean up your baby. 2. Unfasten the tabs on the dirty diaper. To prevent them from sticking to your baby, fold them over

CONTINUED Pull down the front half of the dirty diaper. If your baby is a boy, you might want to cover his penis with a clean cloth or another diaper so he doesn't pee on either of you. 4. If there's poop in the diaper, use the front half of the diaper to wipe the bulk of it off your baby's bottom. 5. Fold the dirty diaper in half under your baby, clean side up. (This provides a layer of protection between the clean diaper and your baby's unclean bottom.) To do this, you'll need to lift your baby's bottom off the table by grasping both ankles with one hand and gently lifting upward

C ONTINUEING … 6. Clean your baby's front with a damp baby wipe, cloth, or gauze. If your baby's a girl, wipe from front to back (toward her bottom). This helps keep bacteria from causing an infection. 7. If your baby pooped, grab another wipe and clean her bottom. You can either lift her legs or roll her gently to one side then the other. Be sure to clean in the creases of your baby's thighs and buttocks, too. 8. Let your baby's skin air dry for a few moments or pat it dry with a clean cloth. To help treat or prevent diaper rash, you may want to apply rash cream or petroleum jelly. (The best defense against diaper rash is a dry bottom, achieved through regular diaper checks and changes.

C ONTINUED … 9. Remove the dirty diaper and set it aside. If you followed step one, the clean one should be underneath your baby, ready to go. Pull the front half of the clean diaper up to your baby's tummy. For a boy, be sure to point the penis down so he's less likely to pee over the top of the diaper. Fasten the diaper at both sides with the tabs. The diaper should be snug but not so tight that it pinches. Make sure the tabs aren't sticking to your baby's skin. All changed!

R EFLEXES : Instinctive, automatic responses, such as grasping, sneezing, or sucking in infants.

R OOTING REFLEX : A reflex that is seen in normal newborn babies, who automatically turn the face toward the stimulus and make sucking (rooting) motions with the mouth when the cheek or lip is touched. The rooting reflex helps to ensure successful breastfeeding.

M ORO REFLEX : * a normal reflex of young infants; a sudden loud noise causes the child to stretch out the arms and flex the legs.

B ABINSKI REFLEX a reflex extension of the great toe with flexion of the other toes, evoked by stroking the sole of the foot: normal in infants but otherwise denoting central nervous system damage.
