Early Motherhood

Teething, the emergence of the first baby teeth through a baby’s gums, can be a frustrating time for many babies - and their parents. It helps to know what to expect when your child is teething, and what you can do to make the process a little less painful for you and your child.

The Teething Process
Teething can begin as early as 3 months and continue until a child’s third birthday.

The two greatest risks from most insect stings and bites are allergic reaction (which may occasionally be fatal) and infection (more likely and less serious).

CHECKLIST FOR FAMILY DAY CARE HOMES

It you need to find care for your child, one possibility is a family day care home. This type of care is generally provided in a private home, often times by the parent of a small child or two. A family day care home may offer a more relaxed, home-like style of care than a center, with more flexible schedule and a less formal relationship with parents.

Regular well-child examinations by your child’s doctor are essential to keep your child healthy and up-to-date with immunizations against many dangerous childhood diseases. A checkup also gives your child’s doctor an opportunity to talk to you about developmental and safety issues and gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have about your child’s overall health.
