Question

Smelling cigarettes all the time, none around! #nqlu I am freaking out because i'm having "phantom" smells... Mainly cigarettes. I keep smelling them, but no one smokes here. I kept thinking my husband snuck one, but he has not, and he isn't lying to me

Answer 1

Husband smoking?: If your husband is smoking around your baby, this is a concern. I don't believe the odor alone is injurious, but i'd like to hear what my colleagues say. The bottom line here is that if your husband is smoking, get him to quit. A premature death due to a preventable cause is the biggest negative impact that smoking has on kids. I know from personal experience. Lgromkomd.

Answer 2

Look for these...: Look for signs of hydration, like good urine output, most mouth and eyes, tears with crying. Also, look for adequate stools. Babies who are getting adequate milk (and who are otherwise well) usually seem satisfied after feedings, have adequate alert, awake periods, and grow normally along standard growth curves.

Answer 3

Gaining weight: The two most objective ways to make sure that your infant is getting enough breast milk are to ensure that they are gaining weight and urinating frequently. Most infants gain between a half ounce to an ounce a day during the first few months. They also urinate with most feeds (6-8 times per day). So relax, most infants gain weight beautifully, but if you are concerned, speak to your doctor.

Answer 4

Over weeks is best: Weaning over weeks will best allow your body to adjust with minimal discomfort and enable your baby to make the transition easier.

Answer 5

Depends: Three typical approaches: cold turkey, you just stop, bind yourself & you & baby are miserable for a week. Substitution, you drop 1-2 feeds every other day or so, supply slows, you wean in a couple weeks. Short feed, you use baby to start flow until soft but interrupt baby & supplement every feed.This slows milk production & the wean is more comfortable but may take 2 or more wks.

Answer 6

18-24 months: While the aap promotes physical activity from birth, classroom style activities are best enjoyed by children once they can walk, run and manipulate around obsticles. This usually occurs by 18 months of age. By 24 months, many children are starting to jump and dance. Swim classes should be postponed until 4 years of age.

Answer 7

0 months: Any child can benefit from classes, but before moving and dancing, a baby has to be able to walk. However, there are classes where infants can learn from listening, clapping, and moving in their parent's laps. They may not be able to sing along, but they still get to experience the joy of music and a fun time bonding with a parent.

Answer 8

Listening / X-ray: The standard method of verifying tube placement includes listening to breath sides on both sides after placement.After securing the tube in place it is routine to have do an x-ray to verify the position. Occasionally, placing a gas monitor to verify exhaled co2 is used in some situations.

Answer 9

Can't be exact: The chance of having a healthy pregnancy/baby decreases over time and the risks increase more so after age of 35. You can improve this chance by keeping yourself in optimal health--don't smoke. Eat healthy, exercise regularly, and don't drink to excess (no drinking when pregnant). I'm sorry i cannot give you the exact chance, but i don't think anyone can. Consult your ob/gyn physician. Good luck.

Answer 10

Varies some: Your risks of having a Down syndrome infant is increasing as you age, at 40-45 about 1%. Add that to a basic risk of 4% unexpected outcome at any age and your looking at 95% frequency of healthy outcome. It would be wise to discuss all the issues with your spouse and docs.If your basic health is good and you have the patience and desire for this extra work, do what you wish.
