Did you know? (Part 1)
Did you know that if you turned on a vacuum right in front of you that is about how loud it is inside the womb. So if you’re having trouble getting your newborn to sleep try a loud noise. When Em was younger I used to be able to turn on the blow dryer or vacuum and she’d go to sleep. Now I turn on some music and that calms her down enough to get to sleep, in fact sometimes if I turn the music off she wakes up.
Did you know that if you’re breastfeeding and your baby has a diaper rash that it could be something you’re eating that’s effecting her. I tried everything from Vaseline, to Neosporin, Desitin, and even Lotrimin. (Yes the foot cream.) The Neosporin worked the best since she had an open wound and was actually bleeding. At first I thought it was milk that was effecting her so I stopped drinking it for a few days, but this did nothing. Finally I figured out that it was soda that actually caused her rash and with in three days it was almost completely gone!
