I am here today to give you some helpful tips for when your newborn comes into this world in about nine months and comes home. I want it to be as easy as possible for you and your spouse to bring the baby home to a safe and prepared household. Having a kid is a lot of work and effort besides just watching the baby. Babies need special attention with everything because they are not capable to do things on their own yet, but as they grow older they will become less and less dependent on you and your spouse.

One of the most important things you need to have ready before the baby arrives is to have sufficient funds in your account for any emergency that may arise during the first few months the baby is home. You and your spouse should start saving a little money each month during the pregnancy so when the baby is here you will be ahead of the game and will not have to dig into your savings accounts. This will help you significantly. You want to have healthcare insurance for the baby because babies are fragile and can become sick very easily. The last thing you want is your baby in the emergency room and you do not have insurance for him/her and you have to pay cash. Diaper rash, colic, and fever maybe some of the most common illnesses babies get. Diaper rash may happen from the frequent changing of diapers and the baby’s soft skin may develop a rash. As well as the baby’s skin being too sensitive. Colic is the uncontrollable crying caused from gas or tummy aches. Fever is when rectal temperature is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. There are a lot of things you can do to prevent these illnesses from happening like washing your hands before touching the baby, clean their nose, and get vaccinated. Getting CPR training maybe another thing...

Many researchers believe this form of communication is beneficial to families in that it may relieve frustration for the baby (Gongora & Chammarrita, 2009). For example, a child who is taught sign language can make the sign for juice to communicate that he or she is thirsty (Gongora & Chamarrita, 2009). Also, baby signing is believed to promote a bond between the child and parent, as well as improve language development (Gongora & Chammarrita, 2009).

    Pregnant women and new mothers, especially those who breastfeed, are being oppressed in several ways. This population is denied many benefits women have when becoming pregnant or new mothers. This occurs because society sees pregnant women and new mothers as inferior, emotional, incapable of day to day tasks, and over all useless in a way.

  • Baby X Research Paper

    2783 Words  | 6 Pages

    While doing research, I stumbled across a story about a Baby X who was raised in a world where gender norms did not apply to this child. No one knew the gender of Baby X. Growing up the child wore gender neutral clothing, played with both dolls and trucks, and participated in both ‘feminine’ activities such as baking, and ‘masculine’ activities such as relay races. However, parents of Baby X’s friends thought that Baby X was a ‘misfit’ and a ‘bad example’ and people from the community demanded to know the child’s gender and force him or her to behave like whichever it was (Gould, 1995). Why did so many people have a problem with Baby X resisting the typical gender norms? Why must a child be identified as either a boy or a girl and act in accordance to their sex? Gender norms are extremely inherent in society and many conform to these social rules. Although there are endless possibilities to study when it comes to gender norms, this paper is going to focus on the construction of masculinity and how it is problematic in the way that many people in society view it and reinforce it.
