Milk intolerance or allergy

About one in 10 babies is allergic or sensitive to cow's milk. Your baby is at higher risk if someone else in your immediate family has trouble digesting milk products (there is a genetic link). Parents who formula feed from the start may notice a reaction to a cow's milk-based formula right off the bat. Mothers who breastfeed don't usually spot the symptoms until they begin supplementing with formula. Symptoms of both milk allergy and lactose intolerance include vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and rashes.

To pinpoint dairy products as the cause, a doctor will recommend that you cut out all dairy (formula included) from your baby's diet for a few days, and then slowly reintroduce dairy foods. If you breastfed, you'll likely be asked to stop eating all dairy products yourself, since the irritating proteins in dairy can pass through breast milk to your baby. If this helps your baby, you may have to give up dairy products or limit your consumption until you wean your baby. If you formula feed, you'll probably find yourself switching brands until you find one that doesn't upset your child's stomach. You may have heard that soy formula is often the solution, but that's not always the case. Five to 10 percent of kids who are allergic to cow's milk are also allergic to soy. BabyCenter can help you find a formula that's right for your baby.

Diapering

It's important to choose a safe place to change your little one. Even belted onto the changing table, they can squirm right off, so always keep a hand on your baby. We put a stim-mobile above the changing table to keep our little one occupied during changing time.

When I change my daughter, we have a changing pad and everything I need in an area on the carpet. That way, I don't have to worry about my acrobatic daughter landing on the ground.

Before you actually change (or put on) the diaper, it's wise to have everything that you'll need handy and in a safe place (out of baby's reach).


Checklist:

*Clean diapers (a few, just in case a tab rips off or it gets dirty immediately)
*Diaper wipes
*Diaper disposal unit (diaper pail, Diaper Genie, trash can or bag)
*Diaper cream (optional)
*Powder(optional)Personally, I don't use powder (even when it's hot) since most baby powders seem to get powder everywhere (and we don't want baby to breathe that) and have cornstarch in them. The cornstarch can act as food for many types of bacteria (like the ones that cause yeast infections). Powdering is, however, up to you!

Step-by-step
Here are my diapering tips, one step at a time.

1. Make sure that your hands are clean.

2. If you're changing baby in a store's changing station or even in the car, have a cloth down under the little one… just in case.

3. Undo the pins/diaper cover (if you're using cloth diapers) or unfasten the tapes on the disposable diaper.

4. Check and see the contents of the diaper. If it's especially messy, I like to have a few extra wipes (or a cloth) standing by.

5. If theres a bowel movement, use the front of the diaper to pull the mess towards the baby's bottom. Then fold the front part over the back, keeping the bowel movement inside so that the baby's bottom rests on the outside of the front of the diaper.

6. Next cleanse the diaper area, taking care to clean all the folds and moving the mess towards the baby's bottom. (Always wipe girls front to back only to avoid UTIs and other infections.) If you're changing a baby boy, you'll want to protect yourself, and other onlookers, by keeping a diaper (or cloth) over the baby's penis. You never know when nature will call, and sometimes cooler outside air will trigger the need!

7. With one hand, hold your baby gently near the ankles and lift up the baby's legs and to clean the baby's bottom. Again, making sure to keep a diaper covering the a baby boy's penis.

8. Apply ointment if necessary and check for redness (or chafing or the area where one of the diaper tabs may have rubbed and reddened the baby's skin).

9. To put on a new diaper, lift the baby up so that you can slip that new diaper right under the baby's behind. This is easily accomplished by gently holding the baby by the ankles with one hand, and sliding the back of the diaper (for those of you using disposable diapers, the back of the diaper is the side with the tabs and no decoration).

10. Next, fasten the tabs to the decorated strip on the front of the disposable diaper. Remember not to make it too tight and make sure that you position the tapes so that they don't contact the baby's skin. If you're using cloth diapers, pin the corners together by using safety pins and placing your fingers between the diaper and the baby to keep baby from getting poked.

11. Check and make sure that the diaper covers the baby's behind fully and isn't too tight on the legs or stomach area. Make sure the edges of the diaper haven't been tucked under.

12. Dispose of the soiled diaper and wash your hands.

13. Now you're ready to get your little one dressed!

How much will college cost when my child is ready to go?

That depends on what type of school your child attends and when he'll start his freshman year. As a general rule, private colleges and universities are two to four times more expensive than state schools. And while it's difficult to know exactly what tuition fees will be years from now, experts project rapid yearly increases. Between 2001 and 2002, for instance, tuition and fees rose 5.8 percent at four-year private colleges (to an annual average cost of $18,273) and 9.6 percent at four-year public colleges (to an annual average cost of $4,081), according to the non-profit College Board.

But before you freak out about the numbers and decide to forget about saving for college altogether, consider this:

• College is still a good investment in your child's future. People with four-year degrees earn 80 percent more on average than those with high school diplomas, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That can add up to more than a million dollars in additional income over a lifetime.

• Most students attend affordable colleges. Almost 70 percent of students enrolled in four-year schools in 2002 paid less than $8,000 a year for tuition.

• In 2002, only 7 percent of all students attended extremely expensive schools (tuition over $24,000).

• It's likely that as college costs rise, so will your income.

• Financial aid is available for most students. More than 75 percent of students in private schools and 60 percent in public schools receive some type of financial aid.
