lucky asked:

Hi everyone. My baby is 16 months old and I am still breastfeeding a couple of times during the day. He would get like 6 - 7 ounces a day. Is it still protective of his health through the antibodies. The reason I am asking it, I will have to go on an international flight of 11 hours to Turkey. And unfortunately I do not have the peace of mind because of this swine flu threat. Would you suggest I increase the milk supply through pumping to give him better protection against virus or bacteria? Thanks for your answers...

logicalconclusion asked:

My grandmother's live-in home health aid recently started working for her, about 5 weeks or so. I'm not sure of the tipping/gifting protocol during the holidays for a home health care worker.

I got her a nice bath & body product gift set but I'm not sure what my parents should give her, a gift, money (how much?), etc? Keep in mind, she's been there for a month.

I know this is not a job that people tip for on a usual basis, but they do grueling work for minimum wage so I wanted to show my appreciation.

Ideas and suggestions will be appreciated!

The reason is simple: normal baby weight gain is an important indicator of a baby's health. Lower than expected baby weight gain may sometimes mean that the baby is ill, or is not feeding well, or has some other underlying medical condition. So it is a good idea to keep an eye on a baby's weight, particularly in the early stages of his life. Do bear in mind that a new born baby usually loses weight during the first few days after his birth, and it usually takes around 10 days to regain his birth weight.

Factors like feeding method, schedule and diet composition can affect a baby's growth. Sometimes a baby simply needs to be fed more food or more often. Sometimes it is a matter of changing the choice of food given to the baby as some foods contain a lot less calories than others.

Measuring the weight of a baby at regular intervals can be quite helpful in certain situations. For example:
Your baby was born with a low birth weight. You have been advised to closely monitor his growth.
Your baby is breast feeding. However you are not too sure how much milk your baby really is taking in.
You are beginning to wean your baby off breast milk and gradually introducing solid foods. You would like to monitor the impact of this change in diet on his weight.
Your baby is now almost entirely fed on solids. You are wondering if your baby is eating enough and putting on weight normally.

In situations like these, having a digital baby scale at home can be reassuring. Now you don't have to wait till the next health check appointment to find out your baby's weight. You no longer have to spend time in between clinic visits worrying if your baby has put on sufficient weight. Baby weight gain problems, if any, can be identified earlier and steps taken to deal with them.
