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.

• Take your iron supplement between meals with orange juice for better absorption.
• If bottle-feeding, be sure that all soap is rinsed from the nipples.
• Include your doctor's phone number in the list of emergency numbers near your phone.
• If baby scratches himself, put mittens on those little hands.
• To wean your older baby off the bottle at bedtime, try filling it with water instead of milk.
• If your baby wakes up agitated and hysterical in the middle of the night, she or he may be overly tired. Try laying baby to bed earlier, and make sure baby naps.
• Before you become pregnant, invest in a firm mattress for back support.
• 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.

• 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.
