Safety And AllergiesHow do I keep baby's food safe?

You must serve freshly made baby food or an opened jar of store-bought baby food right away. You can also store it in a covered container in the fridge for two or three days. You can store baby food in a fridge freezer for two months or a deep freezer for six months. Make sure the safety seal on the jar of store-bought baby food is not broken. Listen for a popping sound when you open a jar of baby food.

Check the "best before" date on store-bought baby food. Do not feed your baby directly from the jar or container of baby food unless you're giving your baby the whole amount. Put the food for your baby into a bowl. Throw out any food that has come in contact with your baby's saliva.

How to give your baby a bath

Bathing newbornsOriginally published in Today's Parent May 2011

Donna Connely has bathed hundreds of babies — and answered almost as many questions — as a nurse and clinical leader of develop­ment in the family newborn unit of IWK Hospital in Halifax. Here, she answers the most common concerns:

My newborn hates being bathed. What can I do to make it easier?

A sponge bath is just fine. Start with her swaddled in a blanket and wash her face and hair. Use plain water on her face, and a clean corner of a baby face­cloth to wipe from inside to outside of each eye. Holding the baby like a foot­ball, with your hand supporting her head and neck, wet her scalp. Use a tiny drop of shampoo to lather her hair. Rinse well and pat dry.

Now lay your baby down on a com­fortable surface and unwrap her body. Wash her torso and back, her legs and feet, and finally her bottom. A girl's genital area should be wiped from front to back. Wipe around a boy's penis, but do not attempt to retract the fore­skin...
