Nailed It!—Caring for Baby’s Nails

Can you imagine how many fingers and toes a parent clips over a baby, toddler and school age child’s lifetime? Here are some One Sassy Doctor’s calculations:

• 10 fingers + 10 toes = 20 clips
• Multiply that by once a week, 52 weeks a year = 1,040 a year
• I still clip my 8-year-old girls’ nails, so consider you’ll do it until they are 10 or so.
• That’s = 1,040 X 10 = 10,400 nail clips.
• I have four kids = 41,600 clips over a lifetime.

OMG. Want to come get a mani/pedi with me?

Now back to the informative part of this posting.

Caring For The Cord—Part Two!

In our last post we discussed what the umbilical stump is and how important it is to baby’s growth and development inside the womb. Once baby’s cord is clamped & cut, what do you do?

Caring For Your Baby’s Life Line

In sharing this post about caring for the umbilical cord, this One Sassy Doctor has to reflect on those first few days of C-Section/learn to nurse mayhem (times two) and share a personal story. My baby girl’s umbilical stump got caught on my nursing bra and ripped off. It was a mess! I was maneuvering her with my itchy, hot and uncomfortable double milk truck holders (Literally, isn’t that what they feel like at the beginning? No offense meant!), and she started to cry. Didn’t take long to realize the poor little pookie’s stump was gone! Rest assured, she’s eight now and has the cutest belly button in the world (which I still give an extra kiss to when we snuggle).
