My second child was gnawing on a pizza crust at six months. My third? She's a tough little thing and has survived, dare I say, thrived, for eight and a half years.<br /><br />You'll be fine. The baby will be fine. And all of your newbie questions are what keeps the pediatrician in business. The true test of a good baby doctor is how silly they don't make you feel during the first year of your firstborn's life.Tyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707105742593866532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-6302121947590452912009-08-19T21:01:16.913-07:002009-08-19T21:01:16.913-07:00Mommy spit cures most everything.Mommy spit cures most everything.Amber Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084517063365211835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-37389504053403363202009-08-19T17:16:50.520-07:002009-08-19T17:16:50.520-07:00That so sounds like something I would do.

What's awesome about your kid getting past the first few months-is that you quit over thinking that stuff. <br />I wonder if she put you on speaker fun so that the other nurses could get a giggle? <br />Keee, hee, heee.christina(apronstrings)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11806155985753148490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-61665709990829459472009-08-19T15:36:01.258-07:002009-08-19T15:36:01.258-07:00Love it!

It probably wouldn't have hurt to have just washed your hands very well and lightly tapped the hair with your finger. It would have stuck and came out very easily. You're doing great though. I freaked out several times with my first and I know we were at the emergency room atleast 3 times within the first month. I was sure he wasn't breathing right.(We are all crazy with the first).

Second Child comes along...."Oh, poor baby, let mommy kiss it, put antibiotic ointment on it and a bandaid".....third child..."You know where the bandaids are, right?" 4th child..."Don't bleed on the carpet!!!!!"<br /><br />Like most things in life, experience is the best teacher. When it's your first, you lack that. My only advice, don't be afraid to call your doctor. Believe me you aren't the only first time parents who doubt their instincts.
