1.How many dirty diapers can I expect to enjoy each day for the first few months? 8-12, depending on how often you change... usually at every feeding.
2.What is the most common allergy in children under two years? I don't know, maybe peanuts or milk? Mine are allergic to milk.
3.How many hours should I wait between feeding times for my newborn? If you're scheduling, typically every 2-3 hours, or if on demand, whenever the baby wants to be fed.
4.How often should I bathe my newborn? Less is seriously better... I do it 1-2 times a week, unless they need more because it dries out the skin.
5.What is the most important thing for me to bring to the hospital with me? Carseat, change of clothes for you and baby. They have almost everything else you're going to need.
6.What is the most common reason my baby will cry? Hunger
7.How many hours does a typical newborn sleep each day? About 20 hours, I think...
8.How long should I wait before I take my baby into public? Depends on time of year, if baby was early, etc. We waited a month with Patrick (born in Oct and a premie), but less with the others (also premies) out of necessity.
9.How early can I start teaching my baby to swim? Not sure, but my cousin started before she turned a year old!
10.What is the best type of diaper for newborns? I liked Pampers for disposables, but now we do Bum Genius cloth diapers and LOVE THEM
11.What is the best kind of diaper ointment? Aveeno worked really well for Sammy, but Desitin for Patrick
12.What type of food should you start with? Rice cereal
13.During bath time what part of the body should I wash first? Face, specifically the eyes
14.When should I begin food? 6 months
15.How many wash cloths will each bathing of my newborn take? 1, and a couple cotton swabs for the eyes.
