Congratulations on the birth of your new baby!  Taking care of a baby is hard work - they don't come with an instruction book!  But you’ll find our New Baby Handbook helpful as you care for your newborn.  What might now seem scary will soon become more relaxed and enjoyable. Trust your instincts.  Your baby is special from the start. 

Watch a video to learn about newborn care and development from the Sparks Parent Video series. 

·        You're off to a great start taking care of your baby by reacting to their needs.  If you watch and listen carefully, you'll be able to figure out how to help your baby with just what they need.  Our New Baby Handbook  can answer many of your questions, or you can contact our office.

·        Continue feedings every 2-3 hours and keep track of wet and dirty diapers.

·        More information about your baby is at healthychildren.org, the website of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

·        Contact our office (or After Hours exchange 314-453-0044 if office is closed) if:

o   Your baby has 2 poor feedings in a row

o   Your baby has less than 3 wet diapers per day

o   Your baby has less than 1 dirty diaper per day

o   Your baby is crying non-stop or is difficult to waken

·        Your baby is 2 weeks old!  Way to go!  Keep up the good work. 

·        Though at times it can be tough, it is important to quickly respond every time your baby gets fussy.  This shows your baby that someone is there to help when they need help - they can't do it themselves!  It is not OK to let the baby "cry it out" at this age and you will not "spoil" your baby by reacting whenever they are crying.  All babies tend to cry more in the next few weeks and some babies will develop colic during this time.  We can help you if your baby is colicky.

·        Our New Baby Handbook can answer many of your questions, or you can contact our office.

·        More information about your baby is at healthychildren.org, the website of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

·        Call our office (or After Hours exchange 314-453-0044 if office is closed) if:

o   Your baby is not feeding well for 2 feeds in a row

o   Your baby gets a fever equal to 100.4 F or higher

o   Your baby does not have more than 3 wet diapers per day

o   Your baby is having a hard time breathing

o   Your baby won't stop crying

·        Feeding - Check out our Nutrition page.

·        Elimination - In the next few weeks your infant's poop pattern may change in color, consistency and frequency.  Concerning colors for baby poop are white, black, or red.  Breastfed babies may have multiple stools daily or as few as one per week. Formula-fed babies usually have fewer dirty diapers than breastfed babies.

·        Sleep - Never place your baby to sleep on his/her stomach. Remember the ABCs of safe sleep: Alone, (on baby's) Back and (in baby's) Crib.  If your baby is back up to their birth weight, you can let them sleep and do not need to wake them for feeding.

·        Healthy Habits - For your baby to be healthy, parents need to be healthy.  Please take care of yourselves!  Even the best parents can become frustrated when caring for a baby. When this occurs, place your baby in their crib, and take a short break.

·        Safety/Prevention – Great safety information on healthychildren.org.

·        Illness - Before two months of age, if your baby is very fussy, not eating well or feels very hot, check the temperature in the armpit or bottom with a digital thermometer. If the temperature is 100.4°F or higher, please call the office or exchange. Ear, forehead and pacifier thermometers are not accurate at this age.  Do not give your baby Tylenol unless instructed by your physician.  Infant noses are often stuffy or congested. This does not mean that your baby is sick if he/she is eating normally, has no fever and is breathing normally.

·        Behavior/Development – Watch a Sparks Parent Video to see how your baby is developing.

·        Your baby had a 2-month check-up today!   Can you believe it?  Taking care of your baby shows your love.

·        Many babies cry the most in their lives at this age – it’s the only way they have to communicate! Crying, and your response to it, is tightening the bond between you and your baby.  By now, you are better at figuring out what your baby needs and helping them to calm down.  If you are having trouble with this, or your baby seems extra fussy and hard to comfort, talk to your pediatrician about this.  It is still not OK to let the baby "cry it out" at this age and you will not "spoil" your baby by reacting whenever they are crying.  The amount of crying each day will start to go down in the next few weeks. 

·        More information about your baby is at healthychildren.org, the website of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

·        Call our office (or After Hours exchange 314-453-0044 if office is closed) if:

o   Your baby is not feeding well for 2 feeds in a row

o   Your baby is hard to wake up

o   Your baby does not have more than 3 wet diapers per day

o   Your baby is having a hard time breathing

o   Your baby won't stop crying

o   Your baby has a fever and a rash

·        Feeding - Check out our Nutrition page.

·        Elimination – Poop patterns may continue to change.  Breastfed babies may have multiple stools daily or as few as one per week. Formula-fed babies usually have fewer dirty diapers than breastfed babies.   Babies have at least 3 wet diapers a day (but usually a lot more).

·        Sleep - Remember the ABCs of safe sleep: Alone, (on baby's) Back and (in baby's) Crib.  Nothing else (blankets, toys, pillows, etc.) should be in the crib with the baby.  

·        Healthy Habits – For baby to be healthy, parents need to take care of themselves too.  Work as a team to get rest, exercise and good nutrition.  You can also get help from family or friends who can rock your baby (while you take a nap!) or can help with other chores.  Postpartum depression can affect moms or dads.  Contact your physician or our office if you are feeling postpartum depression symptoms such as:

o   Severe sadness

o   Frequent crying

o   Trouble sleeping

o   Loss of appetite

o   Irritability or anger

o   Intense concern and anxiety about the baby

o   Thoughts of suicide or harming your baby

·        Safety/Prevention

o   Your baby probably got shots today.  See information from the CDC or the AAP on how to care for your baby after the shots.

o   Learn more about keeping your baby safe from Healthy Children.

·        Illness - A fever is a temperature of 100.4°F degrees or higher. Fever in and of itself is not a problem. It is the body's natural response to fight off infection. The symptoms that occur with fever are also important to be concerned about (see the list above). When your baby has a fever, the most important thing is to watch them closely and call the office if worrisome symptoms develop. A child at this age should be seen if a fever lasts longer than 48 hours even without other symptoms.

·        Behavior/Development - Give your baby some tummy time each day while awake. He/she will soon roll over, reach for and grab toys, squeal and "talk to you". Babies are very social at this age. Talk to your baby as you go about your day. Limit time on your cell phone to be present with your baby.  Watch this from Sparks Parent Video series.

·        Four-month-olds are ready for the world!  They are very social and smile at everyone.  They explore the world by grabbing things and putting everything in their mouth.  They can handle tummy time longer and will begin to roll soon.  They still need lots of support and love from their parents, but you’ll be amazed at how much they can already do for themselves.  You will also find that your 4-month-old’s daily rhythms and schedules will begin to change and can be molded by you.  Respond to your baby with attention and love when they try to connect with you – this strengthens the parent-child bond.

·        More information about your baby is at healthychildren.org, the website of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

·        Call our office (or After Hours exchange 314-453-0044 if office is closed) if:

o   Your baby is not feeding well for 2 feeds in a row

o   Your baby is hard to wake up

o   Your baby does not have more than 3 wet diapers per day

o   Your baby is having a hard time breathing

o   Your baby won't stop crying

o   Your baby has a fever and a rash

·        Feeding – All 4-month-olds still need either breast milk or formula (or both) for most of their nutrition.  If your doctor suggested your baby is ready for baby food, check out “Feeding Your Baby” from our Nutrition page.

·        Elimination – Poop patterns will change when you begin feeding other foods.  The color, frequency, and consistency are going to change.  Contact us if you think there is blood in your baby’s diaper.  Babies have at least 3 wet diapers a day (but usually a lot more).

·        Sleep - Remember the ABCs of safe sleep: Alone, (on baby's) Back and (in baby's) Crib.  Nothing else (blankets, toys, pillows, etc.) should be in the crib with the baby.  Babies fed cereal at bedtime DO NOT sleep longer.  A consistent nightly bedtime routine can help babies organize their sleep.

·        Healthy Habits – Parents need care too.  Work as a team to get rest, exercise, and good nutrition.  You can also get help from family or friends with child (or parent) care.  Postpartum depression can still develop for moms or dads at this age.  Contact your physician or our office if you are feeling postpartum depression symptoms.

·        Safety/Prevention

o   Your baby probably got shots today.  A copy of your baby’s shot record was sent to the Patient Portal.  See information from the CDC or the AAP on how to care for your baby after the shots.

o   Learn more about keeping your baby safe from Healthy Children, including information about car seats, safe toys, keeping your home safe, and more.

·        Illness - A fever is a temperature of 100.4°F degrees or higher. Fever in and of itself is not a problem. It is the body's natural response to fight off infection. The symptoms that occur with fever are also important to be concerned about (see the list above). When your baby has a fever, the most important thing is to watch them closely and call the office if worrisome symptoms develop. A child at this age should be seen if a fever lasts longer than 48 hours even without other symptoms. 

·        Behavior/Development - Play, sing, talk and read with your child every day. Cuddle them often to let your child know how special they are!  Babies are very social at this age. Talk to your baby as you go about your day.  Limit time on your cell phone/tablet to be present with your baby.  Watch this from Sparks Parent Video series.

·        Whether rolling or scooting, your baby is ready to move out!  Everything is new and exciting for your six-month-old.  They are friendly and smile at everybody.   They can do more with their hands.  You’ll begin to hear some simple baby talk as your baby starts to communicate with you.  Six-month-olds have consistent daily rhythms, including 2-3 naps, and can sleep for most or all night.  Parents should provide safe spaces for baby to explore, encourage these first signs of independence, and be ready to respond with love when your baby needs you.  Love, security and trusting your instincts are the most important aspects of parenting.

·        More information about your baby is at healthychildren.org, the website of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

·        Call our office (or After Hours exchange 314-453-0044 if office is closed) if:

o   Your baby is not feeding well

o   Your baby is hard to wake up

o   Your baby does not have more than 3 wet diapers per day

o   Your baby is having a hard time breathing

o   Your baby won't stop crying

o   Your baby has a fever and a rash

·        Feeding - Six-month-old babies get most of their nutrition from either breast milk or formula (or both).  For information about feeding your baby solid food, click our Nutrition page.  If you are about to start baby food, check out “Feeding Your Baby.”  If you have already been feeding your baby and are ready for what’s next, read “Feeding Your Baby – Next Steps.”  Your baby can drink 1 to 2 ounces of water at this age.

·        Elimination – Baby poop at this age will depend on the foods your baby eats – some will loosen the poop, and some will make it harder.  Most babies still poop every day or every other day, but other patterns can be normal.  You should still see at least 3 wet diapers a day.

·        Sleep - By now most children should be able to sleep through the night.  Provide a consistent bedtime routine, placing your baby in the crib when baby is drowsy but not asleep.  Also, try not to let your baby fall asleep for the night while eating.  These tips will help your baby learn that he/she can go to sleep on their own. Should the baby awaken in the night, they will then be more likely to be able to go back to sleep without your help. This approach will help both you and your baby get a good night's sleep.  Do not leave a bottle in the crib for your baby – this can lead to tooth decay and ear infections.

·        Healthy Habits

o   Brushing your baby's teeth with a tiny smear (the size of a dry piece of rice) of fluoride toothpaste can be started as soon as teeth erupt.  If your water does not contain fluoride, your child may need supplementation.

o   Read to your baby every day.

o   Shoes are needed only to protect the feet from sharp objects and the cold. They should be flexible, inexpensive, and fit well in both length and width.

·        Safety/Prevention – Since your baby will be on the move soon, it is time to make your home as safe as possible him/her.  Take the time to babyproof your house now following this advice from healthychildren.org. 

o   Your baby probably got shots today.  A copy of your baby’s shot record was sent to the Patient Portal.  See information from the CDC or the AAP on how to care for your baby after the shots.

o   Learn more about keeping your baby safe from healthychildren.org, including information about car seats, safe toys, keeping your home safe, and more.

The symptoms that occur with fever are also important to be concerned about (see the list above). When your baby has a fever, the most important thing is to watch them closely and call the office if worrisome symptoms develop. A child at this age should be seen if a fever lasts longer than 48 hours even without other symptoms. 

·        Behavior/Development – 6-month-olds thrive on your attention.  Take time to play with, read to, talk to, snuggle with, and love your baby every day.  Be fully present with your baby during these times, limiting electronics use and other distractions during this important time for development.  Give your baby a safe place to play on the floor so they can roll, scoot and begin to figure out how to crawl.  Reading to and talking to your baby helps their language develop.  You are more important to your baby than any toy.  Watch the 6-month old video from Sparks Parent Video series.

·        Your baby is on the go!  All their developmental tracks are moving forward, but many parents notice that one category of development may seem to leap ahead at this age – your baby may be putting more time and effort into what they are interested in or what are good at.  Nine-month-olds crawl, pull themselves up to stand, and even begin walking their first few steps.  They can do more with their hands and will often take over feeding themselves.  Baby talk becomes more advanced, and you may hear your baby’s first word soon.  They are still friendly and smile often, recognizing friends and family but some 9-month-olds will develop “stranger anxiety.”   Daily rhythms, with time for naps, playtime and meals/snacks give a sturdy framework for your baby to develop.  With all this independence, your 9-month-old baby still needs you for love and attention for comfort and security.  Remember that you are your child's first and most important teacher. This stage will pass quickly. Make the most of it and enjoy!

·        More information about your baby is at healthychildren.org, the website of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

·        Call our office (or After Hours exchange 314-453-0044 if office is closed) if:

o   Your baby is not feeding well

o   Your baby is hard to wake up

o   Your baby does not have more than 3 wet diapers per day

o   Your baby is having a hard time breathing

o   Your baby won't stop crying

o   Your baby has a fever and a rash

·        Feeding - Breastfeeding should be continued until your child weans her/himself or mom chooses to stop. Formula should be continued until one year, at which time you may switch to whole milk.  Provide regular meals and snack times; babies this age eat 3 meals and 2-3 healthy snacks daily.  Respect your child's ability to know when he or she is hungry and when he or she is not hungry.  Encourage use of a cup.  Encourage healthy eating habits and remember that our children learn by watching us.

o   Do not give honey to children under one year of age as there is a small risk of botulism.

o   Avoid nuts, hard candies, popcorn, hard raw fruits and vegetables which can cause choking until after age 4.

o   Juice and “fruit drinks” are not recommended - they are not healthy and may cause loose stools and poor appetite.

·        Elimination - Baby poop at this age will depend on the foods your baby eats.  You should still see at least 3 wet diapers a day.

·        Sleep – Try to keep a regular bedtime routine.  By 9 months a child should be able to go to sleep on their own at the end of the bedtime routine.  Because children at this age are pulling up in the crib, make sure that the mattress is down at the lowest level to prevent falls from the crib.  Most infants sleep through the night by this age and are taking at least 1-2 naps during the day but recognize that each child has different sleep requirements.

·        Healthy Habits

o   Brushing your baby's teeth with a tiny smear (the size of a dry piece of rice) of fluoride toothpaste can be started as soon as teeth erupt.  If your water does not contain fluoride, your child may need supplementation.

o   Read to your baby every day.

o   Shoes are needed only to protect the feet from sharp objects and the cold. They should be flexible, inexpensive, and fit well in both length and width.

o   Create an "electronic media-free" environment in children's rooms.  Avoid use of media as an electronic babysitter.  Avoid watching TV during family meals and keep meals a "device free" time.  Having the television on in the background can be disruptive to children's play even if it seems they are not paying attention to it.  Parents should consider limiting their own cell phone time when with their children because it can take attention away from parenting.

o   One exception to limiting electronics are video-chatting with friends and family.  Since this is an interactive and connecting activity, it is good for your baby to see and be seen by family and friends.

·        Safety/Prevention – Now that your baby is on the move, you will need to check and recheck your home for safety.  Babies get faster, stronger, and don’t always take “No” for an answer, so try to stay one step ahead of your baby.  Fine tune babyproofing your house with this advice from healthychildren.org. 

o   Your baby probably got shots today.  A copy of your baby’s shot record was sent to the Patient Portal.  See information from the CDC or the AAP on how to care for your baby after the shots.

o   Learn more about keeping your baby safe away from home from healthychildren.org, including information about car seats, safe toys, sun safety, bug sprays, and more.

·        Illness - A fever is a temperature of 100.4°F degrees or higher. Fever in and of itself is not a problem. It is the body's natural response to fight off infection. The symptoms that occur with fever are also important to be concerned about (see the list above). When your baby has a fever, the most important thing is to watch them closely and call the office if worrisome symptoms develop. A child at this age should be seen if a fever lasts longer than 48 hours even without other symptoms. 

·        Behavior/Development - Over the next few months your baby will become more mobile and independent. Encourage this by providing a safe environment in which to explore and by introducing your child to new textures, scents, and sounds.  Encourage your baby to use their emerging language by “narrating” your life, pointing out and naming objects, and talking and singing together.  This is a good time to begin establishing consistent rules and limits. Babies should be noticed more for their appropriate behavior than for their undesirable behavior. Praise your child when he or she does something well.  If your baby's behavior is inappropriate, try redirecting his or her attention.  Check out the 9-month old video from Sparks Parent Video series.

·        What a year!  Take time to celebrate your child’s growth and change and your role in loving and guiding your child this far.  A child is no longer a “baby” at one year – we call them a toddler.  Being a toddler is exciting and fun as your child continues to grow into their own body and personality.  They are watching, absorbing and learning all the time.  Daily rhythms, with time for naps, playtime and meals/snacks give a sturdy framework for your toddler to develop.   As part of their growing independence, some toddlers can be overwhelmed by the amount of change they experience or by not getting their own way all the time, which may lead to a “melt down” or tantrum.  This behavior is normal.  Acknowledge the emotion your child is feeling but remain calm as your child processes these feelings.  “Giving in” to stop the tantrums can make them happen more often.   Though at times they seem to push away as they explore their independence, your toddler still needs you for love and attention and for comfort and security.  Remember that you are your child's first and most important teacher. This stage will pass quickly.  Enjoy your toddler!

·        More information about your baby is at healthychildren.org, the website of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

·        Call our office (or After Hours exchange 314-453-0044 if office is closed) if:

o   Your child is not feeding well

o   Your child is hard to wake up

o   Your child has less than 2 wet diapers per day

o   Your child is having a hard time breathing

o   Your child won't stop crying

o   Your child has a fever and a rash

·        Feeding – Check out our feeding guide for 12-month-olds called “The Great Transition” as you go from feeding a baby [mostly liquid, breast milk or formula] to feeding a toddler [mostly solid food, drinking whole cow’s milk].   For toddlers, studies show that a new food must be introduced 15 times before a child at this age will eat it regularly. The same studies show that most parents give up on serving a food after 3-4 attempts. Give new foods along with favorite foods. Remember portion size differs for toddlers.  Normal eating behavior at this age includes smashing food, pushing it around the tray, dropping it on the floor, and putting it in the mouth and then spitting it out. These behaviors, while frustrating for parents, are all normal.

·        Elimination - Baby poop at this age will depend on the foods your baby eats.  You should still see at least 2 wet diapers a day.

·        Sleep - Maintain a regular bedtime routine. A 12-month-old should be able to put herself/himself to sleep.  A transition object may help with this (for example, a blankie, doll or stuffed animal).  It is ok to have other items (blanket, pillow, etc.) in the crib now.  Most toddlers sleep through the night by this stage and are taking at least 1-2 naps during the day though each child has different sleep requirements.

·        Healthy Habits

o   Brush your child's teeth with a tiny smear (the size of a dry piece of rice) of fluoride toothpaste once or twice a day.  If your water does not contain fluoride, your child may need supplementation.

o   Read to your toddler every day.

o   Cuddle! Let your child know that he or she is special.

o   Shoes are needed only to protect the feet from sharp objects and the cold. They should be flexible, inexpensive, and fit well in both length and width.

o   Create an "electronic media-free" environment in children's rooms.  Avoid use of phones, tablets or TVs as an electronic babysitter.  Avoid watching TV during family meals and keep meals a "device free" time.  Having the television on in the background can be disruptive to children's play even if it seems they are not paying attention to it.  Parents should consider limiting their own cell phone time when with their children because it can take attention away from parenting.

o   One exception to limiting electronics is video-chatting with friends and family.  Since this is an interactive and connecting activity, it is good for your baby to see and be seen by family and friends.

·        Safety/Prevention – Now that your toddler is on the move, you will need to check and recheck your home for safety.  Toddlers are faster, stronger, and don’t always take “No” for an answer, so try to stay one step ahead of your explorer.  Fine tune childproofing your house with this advice from healthychildren.org. 

o   Your child probably got shots today.  A copy of your child’s shot record was sent to the Patient Portal.  See information from the CDC or the AAP on how to care for your child after the shots.

o   Learn more about keeping your child safe away from home from healthychildren.org, including information about safe toys, sun safety, bug sprays, and more.

o   5-point harness car seat should be in the back seat, rear-facing until your child reaches the weight or height limit of the seat. Great websites for up-to-date car seat info: safekids.org and nhtsa.gov

·        Illness - A fever is a temperature of 100.4°F degrees or higher. Fever in and of itself is not a problem. It is the body's natural response to fight off infection. The symptoms that occur with fever are also important to be concerned about (see the list above). When your child has a fever, the most important thing is to watch them closely and call the office if worrisome symptoms develop. A child at this age should be seen if a fever lasts longer than 48 hours even without other symptoms. 

·        Behavior/Development - Your toddler continues to be more mobile and independent.  Provide a safe environment in which to explore and introduce your child to new tastes, sights and sounds.  Encourage your toddler to use their language by “narrating” your life, pointing out and naming objects, and talking and singing together.  This is a good time to begin establishing consistent rules and limits. Toddlers should be noticed more for their appropriate behavior than for their undesirable behavior. Praise your child when he or she does something well.  If your child's behavior is inappropriate, try redirecting his or her attention.  Other effective disciplinary actions, when necessary, include a stern restatement of the forbidden act ("no biting!"), or a 1-minute period of non-interaction ("time-out").  Check out the 12-month-old video from Sparks Parent Video series.
