  1. Make sure to keep holiday plant favorites, holly, mistletoe and poinsettias out of reach of exploring baby hands and mouths.
  2. The bedtime bottle is often the hardest one to give up. Save it for last.
  3. Talk about more for your money! MasterCard is doubling donations to MOD thru Dec. Now that's a meaningful gift. http://bit.ly/z1b9

  5. The first signs of dehydration are a dry mouth and a significant decrease in the number of wet diapers.

  9. If you have a messy eater on your hands, newspaper spread under the highchair cleans up sooo much easier than yams from grandma's rug.
  10. Stranger danger normally rears its head from 6-12 months. It is a passing phase.
  11. If your baby is starting to toddle, look carefully at anything within 3 ft from the floor - easily reachable range of questing fingers.
  12. Now that the weather is colder, your baby should always wear a hat when you go out--and one that covers his ears if it's near freezing.
  13. All babies are accident prone. Some are just more so than others.
  14. Your sweetheart should start going to the dentist at age 1 or when she has 8 teeth, 4 up and 4 down.
  15. Today is the Great American Smokeout. Did you know that breastmilk from women who smoke contains chemicals that are dangerous to babies?
  16. I'm sorry to tell you but diaper rash tends to repeat for some babies and can remain a problem as long as he's in diapers.
  17. Have you popped over to read through some of the blog posts at Bloggers Unite to Fight for Preemies? http://bit.ly/1P8sDX
  18. It's Prematurity Awareness Day. Let's try to get #fight4preemies as a trending topic. Think we can?
