12: Bringing Baby Home, Troubleshooting

We are continuing on the topic of bringing baby home and tackling some troubleshooting.  There are a lot of things that can come up with a newborn and the goal of this episode is to prepare you for it and teach you what you can do to solve some pesky problems you may come across.  Most of these issues are not serious, but as always, trust your gut.  If something doesn’t feel right, call your pediatrician.   Knowing what issues can come up with a newborn and how to troubleshoot them, or prevent them in the first place, will give you the tools you need to rock the first few days and weeks with your baby.  This episode discusses jaundice, breastfeeding, diaper rash, baby acne, cradle cap, sharp finger nails and scratching, colds, vomiting, fevers, gas, and colic.
