Drive Safely With Your Newborn by Following These Tips (BPT) - Babies change everything. Their arrival means that new parents

need to become educated - quickly - on cribs, strollers and most importantly, child-safety seats and all their rules. And as federal recommendations on car seats continue to evolve, parents have one more thing to stay on top of.

The family car safety experts at Cars.com, in partnership with Toluna QuickSurveys, recently conducted a poll that asked parents what they worried about most when bringing a newborn home from the hospital.

Results revealed that 93 percent of new parents listed the fear of other drivers on the road as a top concern when driving with a newborn.

“Every new parent wants to cover the car in protective bubble wrap when driving with their baby. I know my husband and I did,” says Cars.com editor and expert mom Jennifer Newman. “That isn’t realistic, but there are a few things you can take control of that will help ease your anxiety when driving with your newborn.”

Instead of bubble wrap, Newman suggests: * Car seat check: Make sure a certified child passenger safety technician inspects your car seat installation before the baby arrives. * Practice safe driving: It’s going to be tough, especially if your newborn starts wailing, but remember to keep your eyes on the road. If you can’t stop yourself from turning around to check on the baby, pull over and then make sure everything is OK with your wee one. * Keep the baby in the car seat: If one parent rides in the backseat with the baby, remember that it is never OK to remove the child from a car seat while someone is driving. The safest place for a baby - even one that’s screaming - is in a rear-facing car seat when the car is moving. * Keep your car properly maintained: Take your car in for regular, scheduled maintenance to ensure everything is in working order and all fluids are topped. Keeping a safe car can create a safer ride for your little one.

These steps allow parents to focus on the road and should lessen some of their concerns about their child’s safety in the car. In addition, Newman also suggests parents skip using items such as a baby mirror in the car.

Mirrors and other items like toys that hang from a car seat’s handle can become dangerous projectiles in a crash and harm your child or you.

Oh, Baby! 7 What Parents Feed Baby Can Have Long-Term Impact

(BPT) - Experts agree that the food babies eat helps set the stage for growth and development, but did you know that it also impacts long-term eating habits and taste development?

Children who consumed fruits and vegetables infrequently and drank sweet drinks during late infancy showed those same habits at age six, according to new data published in the journal Pediatrics.

Infants who consumed sweetened beverages more than three times a week at 10-12 months were twice as likely to be obese at age six.

Nutrition expert Dr. Kathleen Reidy, who heads Nutrition, Meals and Drinks at Nestle Nutrition, says, “What you feed your baby now affects them not just today, but tomorrow and beyond. The first years of a child’s life are a critical period of development, and instilling good eating habits during this time can help put a child on the path to a healthy future.”

Dr. Reidy has some tips to help instill healthy eating habits for young children: Meal time is game time * Replace foods high in saturated fat with lean meats, low-fat dairy products and foods high in healthier fats such as

avocado, fish and those made with olive, safflower and canola oils. * Offer a variety of healthy foods, and try to set a good example by eating them yourself. * Milk is key in children’s diets and a top contributor of many important nutrients.

Children over the age of two should be offered lower fat options such as one percent and skim instead of whole milk to limit saturated fat intake.

Don’t forget the fruits and veggies * Pick foods low in salt/sodium, such as fruits and vegetables instead of those high in sodium like hot dogs, chicken nuggets and dishes that contain cheese. * Offer a rainbow of fruits and vegetables for snacks and meals; for mixed dishes, choose items with a serving of vegetables. * If your baby or toddler resists a new fruit or vegetable, don’t fret and try again. It can take up to 10 tries before a child accepts a new food.

A healthy snack attack * Plan ahead for healthy snacks to take on-the-go. Pack fruit and vegetable pouches for older toddlers. * Speak with family and other caregivers about limiting sweets and choosing healthy snacks when caring your child.

You’ll cherish every moment of your baby’s life: the big and the small, the significant and the everyday. They all start here, at The Advanced Baby Center at CHI Health St. Elizabeth. Here, we help you and your baby get off on the right foot with a nursing staff that has more than 100 years of combined experience. So rest easy, little one—you’re in good hands.
