Baby Basics – New Parent Q & A


In this video, we will cover topics we are often asked for!

Pregnant couples are have a lot of questions and being a first time parent can be confusing with so much conflicting advice out there.

Over at The Nest, we do classes for parents and caregivers, where we do baby and child CPR, first aid, and allergy prevention and management.

So in this video, I wanted to put parents mind at rest, and give you a little bit of advice for that new little one coming into your life.

Here are few questions answered in the video.

Where do I start with weaning and those common allergy foods? How do I feed them to my baby?

If I change my diet when I’m pregnant, will this prevent my child from having food allergies?

How do I know if my baby is allergic to certain foods?

What does an allergic reaction look like?

Should I eat common allergenic foods in pregnancy like peanuts?

Should I get the flu shot when I’m pregnant?

If I change my diet while I breastfeed my baby, will this prevent my child from having food allergies?Are there any foods I should not feed my child when starting solids?

What do I do if my new baby has a temperature?

We hope this has been helpful for you today.
