What is the monthly cost of raising a baby?
what is the average monthly cos of raising a baby like for formula, jars of baby food,baby snacks,medicine, dr.check ups, diapers, soap, shampoo, lotion powder. and i need the average cost for each of these individually this is only a span from birth to two years help!!!!!!!!!
How much does it cost to raise a baby from birth to one year?
It depends. One of the most common ways to save money is to breast feed the baby if it is possible. It also goes a long way in the development of your baby. Studies show that the breast milk does wonders for you baby as it develops. Many important vitamins that only breast milk can provide, not formula or other bottled milk which are very expensive. One large can of formula can set you back (depending on where you live) $15-35 per week. Then you need diapers and again depending on several factors mentioned above can have a wide range in cost. About the same range as the formula. There is much to consider and the best place to go for answers and any help you need is first your family if possible, second is your local Department of Social Services which can point you in the right direction and provide you with detailed specific information that is very useful.
Can a baby get sick from eating cat poop?
NO. Your dog may be a bit embarrassed, but he will get over it. Besides, earlier in the day your dog pulled a loaded diaper out of the garbage and woofed it down, so dog and baby are basically even.
Do you have a picture of a baby girl and baby boy Common Snapping Turtle?

What is intensive care for a newborn and how much is it?
Intensive care for a newborn is a special care nursery where only immediate family members are allowed access to the baby. Either the baby was born prematurely or developed complications that need to be monitored. According to my doctor when there was a threat my son would be born too early & require the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), it would cost 7 times more a day than the baby being in the regular nursery & my private room.
No!!!! They say that the gerber baby was a lady by the name of Patti Ann Roth.
Are babies born with patellas?
yes they are born with patellas but not kneecaps until like 18 months.
This is definitely a situation you will have to think through - what is best for you and your child as well as what do you want. If you want this child and you boyfriend doesn't you will have to raise it on your own - you can take him to court for child support but there will be the question too will you be able to provide for your child as well as yourself.
This is a huge responsibility and you must be sure of what you want but in the end do what is best for you and your baby and don't worry about him. If he doesn't want to be around for the ups and downs so to speak then frankly he is not worth being with - with or without a child. Good Luck!
When was the baby incubator invented?
In 1891, Doctor Alexandre Lion, in France, invented the first "modern" incubator (i.e., what we today would recognise as an incubator). A detailed timeline of the development of incubation and other neonatal matters/problems can be found at:

Congratulate them on having a baby girl or boy and state the name, its more personal and throw in a well wish like...Congratulations on the birth of your new baby girl, Catherine. The joys you are about to experience will warm your heart. Bless you all.
Congratulate them on the arrival of their newborn, and wish them all the best for a long, happy and healthy life together.

Is it safe to keep the vernix caseosa on a newborn?
I'm having a baby in about 4 months, so I've been doing some research on newborns and birthing practices. I'm still in the process of gathering information, but from what I've heard and read, leaving the vernix on the baby is not only safe, but recommended.
My mom, who works in the medical field and is a well read woman, suggested massaging it into the skin. I've heard that some mothers don't wash it off for a couple days. Others have said that removing the vernix has the potential to cause skin disorders in the newborn that are rather long lasting, but if nothing else, it's removal has an immediate effect on the newborns reaction to it's new dry environment.
A Nursing Journal recommended that it only be washed off after SPONTANEOUS drying. Which I would assume would mean that it should be washed off after it has dried up on it's own, not after the child has been rubbed down or manually dried. I'm assuming because of sebaceous nature of vernix, it has a longer drying time than water based liquids. Therefore, once the baby is dry doesn't automatically mean the vernix is completely dry as well. In my opinion, the fact that the vernix has to be scrubbed off leads me to believe that nature is telling us "leave it alone". This journal also documented the antibacterial properties of vernix, which leads me to believe that this milky substance isn't just for protection while in the womb, but would adequately serve as a protective cover for sensitive skin once it is exposed to a bacteria ridden environment outside of the womb.
However, I'm only in the beginning stages of my research on this issue and others such as the timing of cutting the umbilical, fetal monitoring, and other medical interventions, so, I apologize that I have mostly word of mouth information at this point. I hope these comments serve as a catalyst for a very interesting and important topic.

Hi, I've been researching the same question. I found this article to be very helpful in making my decision. http://www.nature.com/jp/journal/v25/n7/full/7211305a.html
Don't. The future is nit bright and the job oportunuties seem very limited.
Is it wrong or dangerous for your health to eat Baby powder when you are about to get your period?
There really anything WRONG with it and I can't imagine that it could effect your period, BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO EAT BABY POWDER?
In the mother's womb.
Yea ^ I think it's also called the bladder? I dunno tho...
When to start TTC if you want a baby in October?
You may want to start trying early, as some couples take a few months to get pregnant. January would be the ideal month to become pregnant if you want an October baby. You can try an ovulation predictor test to see when you are ovulating, so that you know the best day of the month to have sex. Good luck and have fun trying!
What is a good baby name that will go with Justus?

How can you extend the range of baby monitors?
First, consider an upgrade. Older monitors used 54mhz 5 watt transmitters that had limited range. Newer monitors use the 800-900 mhz band, which have better range, but can run into interference from cordless phones and other wireless devices.
The simplest way to improve the range of radio frequency (RF) devices is to focus and aim the signal. Search youtube for 'cheap wifi signal booster' and you'll see dozens of tips for creating parabolic and half-cylinder shapes out of foil. These solutions are typically aimed at wifi routers, but the principle will work just as well for baby monitors. If your monitor does not have an external antenna, just place the base in front of the parabola/half cylinder and aim it in the general direction of the receiver.
To get around interference or obstructions like steel framework, block walls, or foil insulation, you could chain two monitors together to get around the obstacle. By chain, I mean place the receiver of the first unit next to the base of the second unit. (This has obvious drawbacks, but it worked for us.)
If you are handy and don't mind voiding your warranty, you could crack open the base unit and extend the antenna. To get the best performance, your antenna will need to be the proper length. You'll need to know the frequency (e.g. 900mhz) in order to determine the length of the antenna. The wavelength of a 900mhz signal is 33cm. Optimal antenna lengths are 1, 1/2 or 1/4 the wavelength. A practical 1/4 wave antenna for a 900mhz baby monitor would be 8.25cm.
The good news is that external 900mhz antennas are common and you can buy one in the $10-$60 range. (I'd go cheap if for this project.) To get around obstructions, you can run a cable between the base and the antenna, but the more cable you use, the greater your loss of signal will be.
It is highly unlikely you did anything wrong. Some pregnancies are just not meant to be. Sometimes the placenta (afterbirth) does not become well attachedm, or does not start producing the hormones it should. Sometimes there is an illness affecting the baby. None of this is your fault.
