Almost every new parent knows the feeling: It’s 2 a.m., you’re bleary-eyed and you want nothing more than everyone to get some sleep. However, you’re up, and so is your new baby.

Though most parents wish their little one could tell them what’s keeping him or her awake, sometimes there’s no clear answer.

To help parents who are looking for answers to the questions that keep them awake, including those regarding p**p, sleep, and tummy time, we'd like to offer this advice.

1️⃣ Why is my baby’s p**p a weird color?
Flashback to before your baby was born: You probably never imagined you’d be searching the internet for answers to questions about p**p. Yet here you are, and many new parents know how you feel.

When you have questions about p**p, however, you may find there’s an app for that. Many apps also track sleep, feeding, pumping, weight, and more, making them useful tools to add to your new-baby starter kit.

If you see a change in your baby’s p**p, track it. It might be no big deal, but it’s easier to remember what happened a week or even a day ago when you have all the data right at your fingertips. Also remember, if you see anything out of the ordinary, it’s worth a quick call to your doctor’s on-call nurse hotline to make sure it’s nothing to worry about.

2️⃣ What’s the big deal about tummy time?
You’ve probably read how important tummy time is for developing your baby’s muscles to get ready for all of the crawling, rolling, scooting, sitting, and walking ahead. While your baby’s back is still the safest place for him or her to sleep, awake and supervised tummy time is important, too.

Tummy time doesn’t have to be long to be effective. Talk to your doctor to see what’s recommended for your baby. Though tummy time can be any time, you might be more successful right after a nap or diaper change when your baby is well-rested and comfortable.

If your baby just won’t take tummy time, try making it fun with toys and make sure you’re getting down on the floor to play, too!

3️⃣ What if my baby just won’t go to sleep?
By around 6 months of age, many babies no longer need a middle-of-the-night feeding and are ready to start learning how to self-soothe. However, about 25 percent of 1-year-olds still have problems waking up in the middle of the night.

They should be sleeping through the night and can be doing it, but it’s very common that they’re not. Know that lots of kids have sleep issues, and sleep issues will come and go as they grow.

In other words, if your baby has trouble sleeping, you’re not alone. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and it’s important to choose an approach that fits your family. That might mean adjusting your schedule to accommodate an earlier baby bedtime or coming up with a simple bedtime routine like taking a bath, brushing teeth, reading a book, and going to bed.

It’s Fibroid Awareness Month 💜

D I D Y O U K N O W...

Fibroid awareness means knowing more about an extremely prevalent GYN condition. 80% of all women will develop fibroids by age 50. That number balloons up to nearly 90% for African-American women, who are three times as likely to be negatively affected by them. For many African-American women, larger fibroids with heavy bleeding can develop at a younger age.

Pregnancy FAQ: ✨ Is it safe to dye my hair during pregnancy? ✨

Hair products, including dyes, are considered low risk during pregnancy if used as directed. To be extra safe, wait until after the first trimester to dye your hair. If you already colored your hair during your first trimester, don’t worry. Absorption of any chemicals through the skin is minimal, and there are no known risks associated with hair dyes.
