The blondes invaded monday night dinner this week. Sitting around the table being classy adults drinking wine, my dear friends helped me fill out an online form to be a newborn care specialist. Ok, let me just say this.... every child (infant, toddler, teenager) is different. Some kids get strep throat 3 times a year, some not even once. Some babies get foreign rashes, some don't even get dry skin.
SO, filling out this form and rating myself 1 to 10 how much I knew about babies was a little difficult. Which I think my friends (one of which is pregnant)were worried asking what exactly am I learning. I had no idea there are 4 different types of diaper rashes. Doesn't Desitin cream cure all of them? I had to google what exactly RSV and PPD were. We went around the table trying to figure out the different ways to burp a baby.
What I do know about babies is when they are fussy, hold them check to check making the SHHHH sounds, it makes them feel as if they are still in the womb. MOST babies calm down quickly.
