Your baby's health is very important to you. He is totally dependent on you to take care of him, and you want to do the best job possible! Sometimes, you simply can't protect your child from becoming sick. Ear infections, respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections are common maladies that many babies experience. Don't beat yourself up over it, but do stay informed and search for the best treatment and prevention. Even something as simple as a diaper rash can be frustrating if you aren't able to treat it adequately. Keep reading for a preview of some great articles!

Baby Health Insurance

Does your health insurance cover your baby? Are you worried because you don't think that you can afford coverage? Insurance can be expensive, but there is help. Your state probably has a health plan that you can purchase or that is free for your child. Be sure and do an Internet search for Children's Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) for your state. Each state has its own insurance site. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a wonderful program entitled WIC, which stands for Women, Infants, and Children and offers free food, such as cereal and milk, to families who meet certain requirements. For more information, contact your local health department, and read the article on baby health insurance.

Baby Health

A newborn baby's health seems so precarious. They are so tiny and fragile, at least in appearance. Actually, newborns are typically tougher than you might think, but you'll still need to take precautions and monitor your newborn's health closely. After all, she can't tell you if something is wrong! It pays to have a good relationship with your baby's pediatrician, too. You'll need to schedule several well-child visits so that your baby's doctor can monitor her progress, including her weight gain. As your baby grows, you will start to think about things like teeth. Before you know it, you'll see those first little teeth breaking through your baby's gums. While different babies will develop teeth at different rates, you can find out the average timeframe, along with tips on taking care of your child's teeth

Baby Illnesses

Your child will very likely experience several colds and even respiratory infections. Many babies have several of these in one year, and RSV can be a serious risk, especially to preemies, so you'll want to stay informed. You can also learn more about Chicken Pox, yeast infections in infants and diaper rash.
