Drinking alcohol doesn’t increase the risk of miscarriage.
A study published out of Denmark found that a woman who drinks 1 to 2 alcoholic beverages per week had around 1.5 times the likelihood of suffering through a miscarriage in comparison to non drinking women. This Danish study also discovered that even a single alcoholic drink can increase the risk of miscarriage. This means that in regards to alcohol it’s better to be safer than sorry, meaning zero alcohol should be consumed for at least the first four months of pregnancy.
It is okay to give babies small amount of cough or cold medicine if they aren’t feeling well.
No children under 2 years of age should be given cold medications. These medications can be life threatening for children who are too young to take them. Other at home methods, such as saline sprays, nasal suctioning, or ibuprofen can help relieve symptoms.
Which of the following signs indicate your baby may have trouble breathing:
A)
Blue coloring of the skin
C)
Gasping, or breathing quickly, at more than 60 breaths per minute
Any of these signs indicate that your baby may be struggling to breathe. Keep in mind babies do breathe faster than adults and children, but breaths that occur at a rate of more than 60 per minute are concerning.
The best way to treat cradle cap is:
A)
Use cortisone cream on the affected area
B)
Cover the surface with hats or beanies
C)
Wash the area with a mild baby shampoo every day
D)
Use your own shampoo to wash the baby’s head
Never use cortisone cream, or any other treatment cream, without specific recommendation from a physician. Many creams may be toxic to infants, and can be absorbed into your baby’s bloodstream through his or her skin. Do not cover the surface constantly with hats; instead allow it to have access to air. The skin breathing will help heal the surface. Your own shampoo may be too harsh, or have certain chemicals that are dangerous to your baby. You should only use mild baby shampoo for your baby’s baths or washing.
An increase in amount of cervical mucus is correlated with an increase in fertility leading to ovulation.
Changes in your cervical mucus can signal when you are fertile. After your period has finished, your cervical mucus gradually increases in amount and changes in texture. This change reflects the rising levels of the hormone oestrogen in your body. It also shows you are close to ovulating.
Tracking basal body temperature is more reliable than urine tests.
If it is very important that you know if and when an egg is released, a urine test kit, called an ovulation predictor kit, works better. BBT also is not a reliable way to prevent pregnancy.
