Choose cotton clothes for babies as these are helpful in avoiding skin allergies. Babies must be kept warm and dry to prevent heat loss.

Breast milk alone should be given till the baby is at least 4 months. Even in a very hot climate, it is unnecessary to give extra water.

When you travel, take cans of ready-to-use baby foods. Throw away half finished formulas; never save them for the next feeding.

Oil should not be put in your baby's ears or nose. It can cause serious damage and infection. Contact your pediatrician if your baby has fever for more than half an hour or if your baby seems extremely quiet or sleepy.
