Grandparents Tune Up- 2022

Changes in the last 20-30 years

Babies need to be bathe - once every three days.

By bathing a baby every day you strip their bodies of their natural oils.

Babies are not doing anything that require a full bath - babies - sleep, eat and soil their diapers.

Babies also get the most important area wiped 8-10 times out of the day.

Old Way : Babies need to sleep on quilts, blankets and pillows

New Way: According to the SIDS foundation, babies should be in a safety approved crib with a fitted sheet- no more blankets, quilts and pillows.

Since 2011, cribs are no longer drop sides and bars are now 2 3/8 , blankets, quilts and pillows are used outside the sleeping environment.

Old way: Babies are given any cereal at 6 weeks in the bottle to help them sleep through the night.

New Way : Babies are not given cereal until 6 months- never in a bottle always on a spoon
