We may even ignore the warning signs our bodies send us, not realizing how common pregnancy complications can be. Here are four questions about preterm birth every woman needs to ask her doctor. http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/822263/preterm-birth-questions-to-ask-your-doctor Health & Wellness Women's Health Wellness Angela Davids Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:13:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/818044/Mom-cuddles-premature-baby-back-to-life The medical community is in shock after Australian mom Kate Ogg brought her premature baby back to life after skin-to-skin contact for two hours.

When my daughter was first born, we cleaned her with cotton balls and warm water. And as she grew, we found that she was one of those babies who was sensitive to anything that remotely had a fragrance that might react negatively with her skin. In fact, we even relied upon hypo-allergenic wipes when it came time to cleaning her bottom because if we used anything else, it would turn beet red. Ouch! http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/815267/caring-for-baby-s-sensitive-skin-1 Parenting Age by Age Baby & Toddler Beth Feldman Fri, 07 May 2010 14:44:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/815047/common-diapering-questions-1 I don’t know about you, but when I first took my daughter home from the hospital, I had a hard time not only figuring out how to diaper my baby , but also how often I was supposed to change her. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/815047/common-diapering-questions-1 Parenting Age by Age Baby & Toddler Beth Feldman Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:52:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/811644/guide-to-diapering When it comes to caring for baby, changing diapers is a huge portion of how you'll be spending the next few years! http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/811644/guide-to-diapering Parenting Having a Baby Molly Cerreta Smith Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:44:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/811643/caring-for-your-baby-s-bottom There are many remedies out there, and here we've presented a list of different diaper rash treatments to try with your little one.

Forget diaper pins, plastic covers and awkward pre-foldeds. Cloth diapers today operate like disposables, fastening with Velcro or snaps. Except, they can save money and leave baby bottoms drier. This isn't tree-hugging, incense-burning, hemp wearing, it's smart parenting. Here's what happened when I tried cloth diapers for a few weeks. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/805155/cloth-diapers-put-to-the-test Parenting Sarah W. Caron Mon, 14 Jul 2008 04:37:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/804722/green-decisions-on-diapering Disposable diapers have changed a lot in the past years. Gone are the shiny plastic exteriors that ripped when you removed the sticky tabs. These days, many are made from a breathable cloth-like material that keeps wetness trapped and away from the outside, and your baby's bum. But are they the most environmentally friendly? Likewise, cloth diapering has changed a lot too. Gone are the days of diaper pins and shapeless, leaking prefolds. But are they the most environmentally friendly? http://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/804722/green-decisions-on-diapering Living Going Green Eco-Parenting Sarah W.

For most of us, it's more a question of which disposable diaper brand we'll use. After all, disposables are SO common and convenient. And cloth diapers... not so much. Right? But there are actually more options than Pampers, Luvs, Huggies or Seventh Generation. There are a diverse selection of cloth diapers to consider, too -- and, folks, these aren't your grandma's cloth diapers. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/804634/deciding-if-cloth-diapers-are-for-you Parenting Parenting Tips & Advice Children's School & Education Sarah W.
