New moms have told me that they restock caddy usually in morning, with 4-6 burp cloths and 10-12 diapers. The most popular finds in other four compartments are diaper cream, cornstarch powder, pacifiers, nasal bulb syringe (as all new parents know as "the sucker"), lanolin (for nursing moms), rattles and I've been told it's a great t.v. remote holder (although I do not promote this use, I will admit importance of knowing proximity of remote during middle-of-the-night feedings).

I know a mom whose baby is 7 months old who stocks basket in a.m. with a days worth of clean outfits. She brings basket downstairs to livingroom for day. Because wooden dividers are removable, basket can be used to store memorabilia such as photos and baby's firsts' when its use as a diaper caddy is no longer needed.

The SaraBear Diaper Caddy makes a unique and stylish new baby gift for new parents. They can be purchased online as is or as beautiful baby gift baskets at www.sarabearbaskets.com.

3. Eye infection. Eye infections are quite common for newborns. Look for signs in your child’s eyes (swollen eyes, watering eyes or pus formed from eyes).

The reasons above are most common, and least dangerous, reasons to contact health personnel. However, an infant can have many other diseases, like heart problems, allergy, asthma, etc. Please contact professional health personnel if your baby is acting abnormal. As I said earlier in this article, some things cannot be repeated or emphases enough times. Here is my conclusion for you:

Contact a doctor if * ...your infant is in pain * ...your infant has breathing problems * ...your infant has fever * ...your infant is vomiting * ...your infant has diarrhea * ...your infant has bad appetite * ...your infant has rashes * ...you suspect that there is something wrong with your infant

If there is nothing wrong with your child and your doctor has a bad attitude because of your “false alarm”: change doctor. You are allowed to be concerned by your child health. You are obligated to contact professionals if you are afraid that your child is in danger. You are allowed to be wrong. Do not let is stop you from contacting health personnel next time if you were wrong first time. Your child needs your concern.
