How sensitive is a baby's ear drums inside a womb?

While a baby's eardrum is sensitive in the womb, the uterus is filled with fluid. That has a tendency to soften and muffle large noises.

Is there any traditional reason that fathers cut the umbilical cord of the newborn child?

Years ago fathers weren't even allowed to enter into a delivery room to see their child born and the change of letting the father be part of the birth is one excellent idea and he will appreciate what his wife/girlfriend has had to go through giving birth as well as seeing the miracle of birth and with cutting the umbilical cord this is letting him experience even more and there would be a stronger bond between father and child. No longer is the birth of a baby a great mystery to men and it shouldn't be.

What is the best way to help a baby start crawling?

Crawl around with the baby. Other than that, not much. The above is true, but, some babies will NOT crawl and may drag themselves or just get up one day and start walking a few steps. Your baby is normal and will do it on his/her own time.

Why do people boil water when someone is having a baby?

You really don't. It can be to sterilize things but honestly, it's just to give panicky bystanders something to do. They feel like they are doing something useful and are therefore not in the way. Notice the task is always given to the nervous person (father, most likely).

At what age do babies walk well?

3 or 4 because they are proper talking and have grown

How do Mormons celebrate the birth of a baby?

Different members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) may celebrate the birth of a baby differently based on their family and cultural traditions.

Religiously, Mormons have 'baby blessings' for new babies, generally held when the baby is a few months old. These are celebrated similar to christenings, infant baptisms, or naming ceremonies among other religous traditions.

Baby blessings are held during the regular Sunday worship service at the parent's congregation. Near the beginning of the service, the father (if an ordained Elder) or another ordained male of the family's choosing will bring the baby to the front of the room. Congregation leaders and other ordained friends and family are ususally invited to participate. They will form a circle holding the baby, and the father will give the blessing. Generally the blessing includes giving the child a name and blessing them to have good health, a happy life, etc. Traditionally the baby will wear white although this isn't a requirement. Either before or after the service, the family will often host a lunch or breakfast. It is common for the parents to invite extended family, friends, and neighbors to the blessing of their baby. Guests are not expected to bring gifts but may do so if they choose.

How do you entertain an active one and a half year old boy on a very long car trip besides using TV?

Hang a bag of toys on the back of the front seat, he will be able to choose what he wants. You could try attatching some toys somewhere so he cant drop them out of reach. Also paper and crayons will keep him amused for a while. This may be irritating to you but he would probobly enjoy nursery rhyme CD that you could sing along to with him, I know he wont be able to sing the words but could make some noises? or even more annoying musical instruments!

When can an infant have water?

The answer to the question that you asked is: almost as soon as you can pop a bottle with a nipple into its mouth. However that is not a sensible thing to do as a rule. Unless there is something badly wrong there is no sensible reason to give a newborn baby anything but mother's milk.

Just a mouthful or two of water fed to a baby, clean water of course, is not generally likely to do much harm as long as it is not too hot or too cold. However, any more than this and you are risking the child's health or life. Electrolyte balance is vital for a small child, and a drink of water that would not nearly harm an adult could fatally upset the electrolyte balance of a baby. If you bring any water for a baby to drink, you had better have a very good reason.

What are the causes of 'floppy head syndrome' in babies?

Floppy head syndrome, or hypotonia, in babies can be caused by various factors, including neurological disorders, genetic conditions, or muscle weakness. Some common causes include conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or spinal muscular atrophy. Additionally, prematurity or lack of oxygen during birth can contribute to this condition. It's essential for affected infants to receive a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate interventions.

How much was a pack of diapers in 1980?

In 1980, the average cost of a pack of diapers was around $5 to $7, depending on the brand and quantity. This was a significant expense for families at the time, especially considering the inflation rates and economic conditions. Adjusted for inflation, that cost would be equivalent to roughly $15 to $20 today.

Is it bad when babies cry for a long time?

It depends...letting a baby cry, when it is hungry or dirty, for a few minutes is fine. It actually helps develop their lungs by breathing in and out quickly. But if a child is sick or has a fever, crying raises the body temperature. If they cry too long, you could have a bad situation on your hands.

Are you in labor if your baby is due in 2 days and you were up all night with painful contractions lasting 45-60 seconds every 5 minutes but today they have stopped?

I had the same thing happen and when I went to the dr. she told me that I was in "early labor". She also informed me that early labor can last hours, days, or even a week or two. Rest assured active labor isn't too far off. Your contractions were that bad and you didn't go to the hospital? You should at least call your doctor. It is unlikely that if you were in true active labor that your contractions would stop with a change in position or moving around. If they stop or get easier to bear when you move around, they are probably Braxton Hicks. I would call the doctor anyway just to be sure.

Where do schools buy the real care babies?

Well, if you live in the America, then you would order them from Realityworks and if you live in Canada, then it would be Studica but watch out because the babies range from $1000-5000 dollars! They also don't sell them to anyone but school and/or buisnesses such as Red Cross.

If you DO want that to keep for yourself eBay has them form 100-300 dollars but you have to get one that works! They are the old version, the BABY THINK IT OVER and they are the ones where you put the key in its back. A little unrealistic!

How do you make a baby lose weight?

Unless explicitly instructed to and guided by a doctor, a baby should never be losing weight. Regardless of what you think is cute or good, do not ruin their life for the sake of what you like.
