a university of iowa study measured 49 women’s feet in the first trimester and again five months after birth. the arch dropped, the foot got 2 to 10 millimeters longer, and 60 to 70 percent of them did not go back. what that means for the calluses nobody warned you about, and the one free thing to do first.

I Have A Newborn Right Now. The Sound Machine Is Not Supposed To Be That Loud.
a team of ear surgeons measured fourteen infant sleep machines. at crib distance every single one went over the hospital nursery limit, and three beat the workplace noise limit for adults. the three-part fix is free and none of it is buying a different machine.
I Have A Newborn Right Now. A Clean Crib Is Not A Safe Crib.
take the clothes, take the swing, take the thirty bibs. three objects on the hand-me-down pile are different, and the reason is that the cpsc says in writing you “cannot tell from looking at a crib whether it meets the new standards.” the june 2011 date, the four words about the mattress, the car seat rule that is about information rather than dirt, and the paragraph here with no link in it on purpose.
I Have A Newborn Right Now. The Costume Is The Least Dangerous Thing In The House On Halloween.
the costume rules for a baby fit on one hand. the american academy of pediatrics’ halloween page spends its real words on the big kid’s candy, the wrappers and stickers on the floor, the candle in the pumpkin and the dog at the door. what goes under the costume in western new york in october, why it comes off before the car seat and before sleep, and the candy list a baby does not get.
I Had A Baby This Year. The Leaking Is Not Something You Wait Out.
four in ten women get urinary incontinence in pregnancy and a lot of them are quietly told it is just the deal now. the office on women’s health gives a six-week threshold, says cutting back on fluids is the wrong move, and names a referral most people have never heard of. plus the honest evidence grade on kegels, which is not what the internet thinks.
I Had A Baby This Year. The Contractions Do Not Stop When The Baby Comes Out.
the uterus keeps contracting after the baby is out, acog says it is worse if you have given birth before, and it is worse again in the first few days of feeding. the heat-and-cold directions most people have backwards, the two numbers that end self-management, and why the most useful thing in this post is a pad rather than a product.
I Have A Newborn Right Now. The Dangerous Part Of Staying At Grandma’s Is The Couch.
everyone packing for a first holiday with a newborn worries about the crib at the other end. the aap’s own list puts an armchair and a sofa in the same sentence as a water bed, and the couch is where you end up at 3am in a house with nowhere safe to sit. what the federal ban on inclined sleepers does and does not reach, the one thing never to put under the sheet, and the sentence that makes the awkward conversation somebody else’s idea.
I Own A Cleaning Company And I Had A Baby This Year. You Do Not Have To Get Rid Of The Cat.
the litter box is the famous pregnancy warning and it is not a dirtiness problem. the cdc says the parasite needs one to five days in the tray to become infectious, which makes it a scheduling decision you make before the baby arrives. what the aap says about who should be doing that job, why the kitchen is the likelier route, and the sentence that means you keep the cat.
I Have A Newborn Right Now. The Swaddle Does Not End At A Certain Age.
the aap’s rule is to stop swaddling when your baby looks like they are trying to roll — and that can arrive at eight weeks with no notice. the three things that change on the same night, why the bassinet manual is the only source for its own deadline, and why the crib may have to come into your room.
I Had A Baby This Year. You Cannot Massage A Clogged Duct Out.
massage it, pump it empty, put heat on it — the published guidance now says don’t do two of those three. what the 2024 evidence review actually reversed, where two good sources disagree and which way i am taking it, the 48-hour and 100.4 numbers that end self-management, and the six-item shelf that is honestly six.
