With Goodyear as your crew chief,

your trip will be smooth

and a lot more fun!

Check your car seat Parents who are fairly new to infant car seats need to make sure seats are properly installed If you are unsure, seek an NHTSA certified car seat installer to teach you how to do it properly Search locally for an NHTSA-certified car seat technician as hospitals, emergency squads and police/fire departments often train staff members and can be a valuable resource

Check your tire tread The four tires on your car are the only parts of the vehicle

that have direct contact with the road, so the amount of tread is very important for

proper handling, braking and more You can check to see if you need new tires by using the penny test Insert a penny into the tire’s tread groove with Lincoln’s

head upside down and facing you If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, it’s time

to replace your tires

Ề

Check wipers Ninety percent of driving decisions are based on vision Don’t wait until you are driving home from the hospital in the rain to figure out that you can’t

see well and need new wiper blades Check them now

to help ensure clear vision on the roads Replace them

if they are cracked, torn, cut or streaking

Tune in, tune up Before taking a long road trip, visit a professional to properly tune your car

Bonus: Regular vehicle maintenance can improve

gas mileage by an average of 4 percent! Replacing a clogged air filter can improve a

vehicle’s gas mileage by as much as 10 percent Plus, it will also help protect your engine by keeping harmful impurities out

Roll into a fuel efficient tire Simply changing to a more fuel-efficient tire can help save you money at the pump The latest offering from Goodyear—Assurance’ Fuel Max’ —helps drivers save gas and spend less money getting to their destinations

A key element is its fuel-saving tread compound that helps reduce energy loss

and helps save fuel

your tresses One of the benefits of pregnancy (aside from your new

bundle of joy) is a thick, lustrous head of hair However,

after giving birth, hormonal changes send more hair follicles than normal into the rest stage—and that means an increase in the amount of hair coming out in the shower or on your brush While there is little you can do to prevent the post-partum shed, here are some tools that will help your hair be beautiful and healthy-looking post-baby

A moisturizing shampoo, like Pantene Pro-V

narecent policy statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises parents to keep toddlers’ car seats rear-facing until age 2 or until they reach the car seat's rear-facing height or weight limit Previously, the AAP cited 1 year and 20 pounds as the minimum for flipping the seat, at which time many parents would switch from an infant seat to a convertible car seat

A 2007 study in the journal /njury Prevention found that children under age 2 are /5 percent less likely to die or to be severely injured in a crash if they are facing the rear “A rear-facing child safety seat does a better

can babies,

be overweight?

Recent studies found that one-third of 9-month-olds are

packing too many pounds, and babies who gain weight rapidly in their first six months may be more likely to be

obese at age 3 "Your pediatrician may become concerned

if your baby’s weight is over the 95th percentile on growth charts,” says Sandra Hassink M.D., director of Nemours’

Obesity Initiative "No baby will be labeled as ‘obese,’ but your doctor may want to examine your child's habits.” That's where you come in Dr Hassink offers this advice to giving baby the healthiest start:

give him mama's milk Breastfeeding exclusively for at

least six months has been shown to help prevent child- hood obesity

learn baby’s cues If your tot blocks his mouth with his

hands, moves his head away from your nipple or simply refuses to open his mouth, he may be full If baby’s not interested in eating right on schedule, try again a bit later

Also, every cry doesn’t mean, “I'm hungry.” Try holding him

or changing his diaper before feeding him

be a good role model Usually when children wean, they

begin eating what their parents eat Ask yourself: Am | eat-

ing healthy foods? Are my toddler's portions too big? Young

toddlers only need about 1,000 calories a day (consider that

1 cup of juice is 120 calories) — KIM Hays

good to know Babies as young as 12 months can reach countertops,

some as far in as 8 inches from the edge That means your stovetop, coffee mug and the knife you just used are all within hand's reach

When your baby is feverish, all you want to do is bring that number

on the thermometer down But a new report in Pediatrics, the jour-

nal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, turns conventional wisdom

on its head, stating parents should instead focus on making their child comfortable, not normalizing his temperature Fever isn’t an illness, it’s how the body responds to illness, and it can help fight infection, says

Ari Brown M.D., co-author of Baby 411 When your baby has a fever: Pay attention to how he feels instead of his temperature reading

Use fever reducers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen as advised by your pediatrician

Don’t give your baby any cough and cold medicines The U.S Food and Drug Administration warns that these medications could cause serious side effects in children younger than 2

the truth about milestones —

`

her developing language skills

“STORY ANITA SETHI PH.D eng

our baby’s ability to understand words has been increasing, so at about 14 months you

can start a new, entertaining game with your little one: Show me your nose (and

ears and eyes and so on) "These games lay the groundwork for language and other social skills,” says Rechele Brooks Ph.D., research assistant professor at the

Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences at the University of

Washington “It's a wonderful social learning experience.’

The turn-taking involved is like the back-and-forth of a

conversation, giving your baby practice at something she'll be doing all her life Playing this way is also important, adds

yy

`: ) tw

, SDI) !

Brooks, because such activities “give infants the opportu- nity to learn words and to gesture.’ Plus, playing “show me’ games allows you and your baby to focus on the same thing “Sharing attention by making eye contact and ges-

turing is an important part of the infant's social world and

sets the stage for later language development.”

It's mind-boggling how much your toddler understands Plus the sight of those chubby fingers pointing earnestly at her nose is enough reward to play again and again Expand her repertoire of words by playing name-and-point while eat-

ing dinner (practice with phrases like “Show me the peas.”)

or at the grocery store (ask “Where are the apples?’)

Trang 33

Somewhere around 12 months your baby might delight

you by saying “mama.” He's probably thrown those sylla-

bles together before, but now he knows what it means Saying these early words is the result of a gradual process “Babies understand — well before they actually speak —

that things have names,” explains Roberta Golinkoff Ph.D.,

director of the University of Delaware Infant Language Project and co-author of How Babies Talk

As your little one practices random syllables (and often

hears you say “mama loves you’) he finally utters the word

When you reward him with your joyous response, he puts

those syllables together again and again Other early words

are likely to be nouns as well, and while you can't really rush things, you can support early vocabulary using these tips

Since babbling increases when he’s ex- cited, step in to name the thing that's making him happy

(Bananas! You like the bananas?”)

Reading offers lots of opportunities to label things again, and babies love repetition and predictability

Captivate him with songs like “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” that have engaging tunes that also teach words and concepts

Babies are drawn to words with repetitive syllables, which may explain why mama, dada and bye-bye are among baby’s first words

5 to 8 months

At 6 months of age, your baby can stay awake for up to

three hours with fewer but longer snoozes This more

predictable schedule, combined with your baby’s ever-

expanding cognitive abilities, rmeans you have a new

playmate who thinks everything you do is funny “Repeat, repeat, repeat; that’s how babies learn,” explains Jackie Silberg, author of Baby Smarts: Games for Playing and Learning But if your baby starts fussing or looking away, it’s time for the game to end When

you follow his cues, you're teaching the most important

lesson of all — that he can count on you to take care of him Try these games, which should reward you with delicious baby giggles

bì ne Babies love bubbles, so let him examine

one when still on the wand and then touch it The pop may surprise him, but after a few tries, he'll understand iis lesson in cause and effect

k Fill a shoe box with ordinary items (plastic

containers, blocks, spoons) and let baby “discover” them

Show him how to put them back in and do it all again

J Try Pop Goes the Weasel" and whenever you say “pop,” clap your hands He'll love that he can start to predict when it’s going to happen

get a grip

0 to 4 months

A few weeks ago, her hands were curled into tight fists and she had no control over them, but now, at about 3 months, she can open them, and

they'll remain half-open much of the time As your baby discovers her

hands, she'll gaze at them in fascination, watching her fingers flutter and

turn She's just discovered that those wiggly fingers are part of her own body, and they're about as miraculous to her as they are to you She's learning a great deal, such as how to move and control her fingers, and

she's on her way to getting that little fist into her mouth

In the meantime, she’s happy to experiment with all that her hands

can do — from one hand gripping another to simply waving and wiggling

fingers at her command, so just let her be Switch things up with wrist rattles or give her small sound-makers to hold Make sure, though, that baby has plenty of time with nothing in her hands at all so she can get

used to the feel of moving them individually

TIP Now's the time to free her of swaddling blan- : kets and other clothes that trap her hands It’s nice

to be cozy, but it’s enchanting to learn

10 tips to make your many

pediatrician visits go smoothly

By William Sears M.D., a Babytalk contributing editor and the author of more than 40 child-care books

heckups are the cornerstone of good health,

and in your baby’s first couple of years

she'll have plenty of them, as the American

Academy of Pediatrics recommends at least nine from birth to 18 months Checkups are the best way to ensure a child is growing and develop-

ing as she should But they're more than that: Routine

visits to the pediatrician give parents the opportu- nity to learn how to keep their kids healthy and safe and to have all their medical questions answered I've been on both sides of this process, as a pediatrician

who's conducted thousands of examinations over the

past 40 years and as a father of eight Based on my experience, I've come up with these tips to ensure a successful visit to the pediatrician

time it right Don’t make an appointment that will coin-

cide with your child's naps or meals, and avoid periods when he tends to get fussy Feed him beforehand or pack

snacks Find out when the Office is least likely to be busy, and, if possible, schedule checkups during these off-peak

times so you don't have to wait long

Trang 39

Questions you may want to ask your baby’s doc:

v Is my child growing as expected?

Vv Are his immunizations up to date?

v/ What changes should | see during his next stage of development?

a you need extra time, say so A

problem like poor eating habits or

developmental delays may require a little more attention, so be sure to alert the office staff when you're making an

appointment that you have an impor-

tant issue to discuss

dress baby for success Avoid mul-

tilayered outfits or clothes with lots

of snaps and buttons Many toddlers

don't like having their shoes taken off, so opt for slip-ons and remove them yourself before the exam

be your child's advocate If you know your toddler is spooked by the scale, ask the nurse to hold off weighing her until the end of the physical If she hates to have her clothes

removed, see if the doctor can per-

form most of the exam while she’s still

dressed and in your arms or lap

bring photos or vid-

eos Snap a photo with your smartphone to show the doctor just how bad the rash was two days ago Or use a Flip video camera to record your baby’s colicky cries I've found these tools highly

useful in diagnosing and treating

patients in my own practice

io

Easy-to-remove

clothing makes exams easier

important you want to discuss You

may also find it useful to bring a pad

and pen to help you remember the

doctor's answers and instructions after

you leave

J: freely There's no such thing as a silly question If you want to know whether something is normal or

whether your child should have a new

test or vaccine you've read about, just ask Part of the purpose of these well- baby checkups is to get information and reassurance from your doctor

prepare to report Be ready to answer questions on general top- ics, such as how your child is sleeping,

what and how much he’s eating and

whether his health or behavior has changed since his last visit You'll also

be asked age-specific questions about milestones like walking and talking

be honest If your child isn’t sleep-

ing enough or is eating too much junk food, fess up; your doctor can make accurate judgments only if you

tell him the truth

1 don't worry, be happy Mothers

mirror what | call exam anxiety Instead of being anxious yourself, quickly engage the doctor with “happy

to be here” greetings and facial ges-

tures When baby senses the doctor is a mom-approved person, she'll be

more cooperative FROM
