Multiple
vaccines at
a time are fine.

Don't give
water in the
first six months.

Your new baby doesn't
need water, and giving
it to him or her could
actually interfere with the
electrolytes necessary to
stay hydrated. Babies get
all of the nutrition and
hydration they require
from breast milk or formula, Kowal-Connelly
says, so lay off the H2O
until your baby is a
bit older.

Stay away
from sunscreen.

Like water, this one is just
for the first six months.
Sunscreen can irritate
a baby's sensitive skin,
and young children
are more likely than
older ones to absorb the
chemicals in sun protection products. But
your baby still needs to
be covered up: Use clothing and a hat to protect
skin, stay in the shade
and avoid being in the
sun during its strongest
hours, between about
10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Six to
10 dirty
diapers a day
is normal.
5

Babies poop and
pee a lot. Breastfed
babies tend to poop
more frequently
than formula-fed
babies-sometimes
creating a stinky,
squishy mess midfeed. In the early
days, babies should
produce about six
to 10 wet or dirty
diapers each day.
If they are producing less, talk to
your pediatrician.

Your baby probably
won't like getting shots,
but it's important to
stay on track, KowalConnelly says. She
advises doing multiple
vaccines at a time,
according to the vaccine
schedules of the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention. " If you want
to be kind, " she says,
" make it as few bad days
as possible. "

It's better to
be cool than
too warm.
7

Parents often overdress
their new babies at
night, fearing that their
tiny bodies will be cold.
But being too warm is
potentially problematic,
because overheating is
a risk factor for sudden
infant death syndrome,
or SIDS. " A good rule is
to dress them the way
you're dressing yourself, " Kowal-Connelly
says. " If you're comfortable in pants and a
long-sleeved shirt, dress
them in pants and a longsleeved shirt. " The ideal
room temperature for
your sleeping babe is 68
to 72 degrees. *
