Burping the baby
Newborn babies need to burp frequently during feedings. If you forget to burp the
baby, she may spit up much of the milk she's been given or have stomach pain. I burped my baby after she finished each ounce
of formula, or after about two minutes (when breast feeding).
Potty Training
Potty training a child
is a *challenge*. Consult your pediatrician about how best to go about it, since each child is different. Something that most
parents and pediatricians agree on, though, is that one should let a child proceed at his or her own pace.
College
planning
The cost of college tuition rises every year. It is a good idea to start saving for your child's education
as soon as he/she is born. (Even if it's only a few dollars a week... it sure does add up quickly!)

Safety
Crawl around your house on all fours to get a sense of what your child sees. Use this information to make changes in your
home (e.g., move breakables out of reach, tape loose cords to the floor so children cannot pull on them, etc.).

Nutrition
Dealing with picky eaters: My little girl would only eat certian things... Rather than turn each meal into a battle, I always
includ one of the foods she likes in her meals, but also made other foods available, even if she didn't eat them. Gradually,
she began to expand the foods she would eat.
