Below is a list of tips that have appeared on Your Baby Today home page since the program began. Tips are updated on this page on a weekly basis.

• Your baby will sleep better if you set up a nighttime ritual and stick to it.
• If your baby has hiccups, try distracting her by feeding with breast milk or formula.
• If your baby has a rash, ask your doctor what he or she recommends to ease the discomfort.
• Doctors don't usually recommend starting babies on rice cereal until they are at least four months old.
• Ask your doctor about formula with iron, which could stimulate brain development.
• Some formulas give babies gas, but consult with your doctor before you switch brands.
• Movement may ease colic, so place baby in a swing.
• Invest in some pull toys -- they encourage babies to crawl and walk.
• Set aside a stash of thank-you cards, stamps, and return address labels for baby gifts.
• Stock up on toiletries and cleaning supplies in case you are too busy to go out when baby arrives.
• Avoid drafts -- don't put your infant's crib near the window.
• Use cup hooks to keep vertical blind cords out of baby's reach.
• Take an extra pillow from home when you go to the hospital to deliver.
• Some women claim that a butterfly-shaped discoloration across your cheeks and the bridge of your nose indicates that you're pregnant.
• Use a large U-shaped pillow to assist with breast-feeding twins.
• With disposable diapers, you get what you pay for. Think twice before buying economy brands.
• Learn about perineal massage to avoid vaginal tears during labor.
• If your baby develops a rash, try a different brand of diapers.
• If you don't know the sex of your baby, choose a neutral color scheme (e.g., yellow and green) for the nursery.
• Weeks prior to delivery, stock your freezer with meals so you won't have to fret about dinner when baby arrives. Casseroles, stews, and soups freeze well.
• Keep a pregnancy journal to share with your child.
• Call a babysitter so you can give yourself a break, even if only for a few hours.
• Plant a tree to commemorate your baby's birth.
• Trust your instincts and don't be afraid to make mistakes.
• Do not give your infant any small, hard foods, such as nuts, popcorn or raisins.
• Install your infant car seat a couple weeks before your due date when you can take the time to read the directions and do it properly.
• Strengthen your abdominal muscles before you decide to get pregnant to prevent back pain during pregnancy.
• While pregnant, do upper-body exercises to prepare for toting heavy baby gear.
• When exercising for the first three months after childbirth, be careful because your joints may be weak.
• To shed post-pregnancy weight and increase energy and strength make time to exercise. Even 10-minute bursts helps.
