How do I ... pick a nipple?
There are three main types of nipples, including standard, standard premature and orthodontic-type
nipples. Most term babies will do fine with a standard nipple, but you can experiment with the different
nipple types if your baby is not taking a bottle well.
How can I be a good parent?
There's not just one right way to raise children. And there's no such thing as a perfect parent--or a perfect
child. But here are some guidelines to help your children grow up healthy and happy:
- Show your love. Every day, tell your children: "I love you. You're special to me." Give lots of hugs and
kisses.
- Listen when your children talk. Listening to your children tells them that you think they're important
and that you're interested in what they have to say.
- Make your children feel safe. Comfort them when they're scared. Show them you've taken steps to
protect them.
- Provide order in their lives. Keep a regular schedule of meals, naps and bedtimes. If you have to
change the schedule, tell them about the changes ahead of time.
- Praise your children. When your children learn something new or behave well, tell them you're proud
of them.
- Criticize the behavior, not the child. When your child makes a mistake, don't say, "You were bad."
Instead, explain what the child did wrong. For example, say: "Running into the street without looking
isn't safe." Then tell the child what to do instead: "First, look both ways for cars."
- Be consistent. Your rules don't have to be the same ones other parents have, but they do need to
be clear and consistent. (Consistent means the rules are the same all the time.) If two parents are
raising a child, both need to use the same rules. Also, make sure baby sitters and relatives know, and
follow, your family rules.
- Spend time with your children. Do things together, like reading, walking, playing and cleaning
house. What children want most is your attention. Bad behavior is usually their way of getting your
attention.
