Sunday, June 21st

Happy Father's Day!! We went to two classes this morning @ Carolinas Medical Center. The first was Infant CPR and the second was Taking Care of Baby. Both classes were beneficial and I highly recommend. I hope I never have to use the CPR but its great to know the rules and how to do it. It's slightly different from doing CPR on an adult.

In Taking Care of Baby, we learned swaddling, diaper changing techniques and tips, bottle/breast feeding schedules & tips, how to sooth a crying baby or colicky baby, how to bathe and when to bathe, infant crib death, pacifiers, what you need for your changing table, rectal thermometer etc. It was all really great stuff!

Did you know that they are NOT recommending swaddling with arms in for sleeping anymore? It's okay to swaddle with the arms out. This is all new in the last couple of months and it's not recognized by American Pediatrics (yet) because its in initial phases. The reason is because the swaddling with arms in is leading to more infant crib deaths! Crazy.

New pictures are on left side. FINALLY! It's only 6 weeks later. Alot of belly changes because it's finally POPPED out. :-)
